lyrics

It was brexit summer that did it, played my friends to the limit
Said: I'm not the only problem, but i'm the only one you've got (yeh)
Privileged and platformed, the stage our fathers built
Either out with the guilt or in with the game. Last link in the chain, the least I can do is complain

I look up and all I see are sons
It's clear we've done something wrong
I look up and all I see are sons
We went wrong

It was the touring lifestyle that did it, I got sick of being surrounded by beautiful women. (just kidding)
Less funny now The Bottlemen are winning
Half the population, one percent of wealth
Yeh i know it's a myth cos nobody gets paid
But last month I counted like 99 dicks on stage

I look up and all I see are sons
It's clear we've done something wrong
I look up and all I see are sons
We went wrong

And i know what yr thinking: Hark the hypocrites are singing
Saying "there's too many boys in our bands" whilst adding two
If I can't be the change then I'll be the klaxon
Shoved enough dick down my throat that you got a reaction
And chances are, the girls you know play better guitar than you

I look up and all I see are sons
It's clear we've done something wrong
I look up and all I see are sons
We went wrong
