lyrics

THE DEVIL HAS A HOLD ON THE LAND

Warning to all
Regulatory alignement managers
Systematic impact assessment overseers
Cognitive therapy dummies
Branded content providers
An unanticipated problem has occurred check back soon and try again

For the devil has a hold on the land
and the devil has a hold on the land
and the devil has a hold on the land

Warning to all
Armani suited concierges in overpriced hotels
Practitioners of hostile architecture
Architects of universal credit
Credit loan arrangers and providers
Providing indebtured misery in all the forgotten towns
We are reasonably well adjusted to a profoundly sick society now

For the devil has a hold on the land
and the devil has a hold on the land
and the devil has a hold on the land

Warning to all
Those of poor style and money grasping smiles
Those great at misleading not too great at explaining
Who would hold our health in their hands
And sell our coughs for laughs
Turn our public ills and cares into private stocks and shares
Nuanced to algorithms blighted by addictive schisms filtered through a soft-core prism

For the devil has a hold on the land
and the devil has a hold on the land
and the devil has a hold on the land
