Oh, fuck a duck
I love that bloody expression
For all of us are sitting like one
Though we do a good impression
Of being in control
Keeping calm and carrying on
When the reality of it is
A bullet could at any time come
And knock us off our perch
Scattering feathers everywhere
Upsetting the apple cart
Having us tearing out our hair
If we’re lucky enough, that is
To survive the initial blast
It’s like playing Russian Roulette
Every day could be our last
So party like it’s the end of the world
Love that boy, love that girl
Sod that job if it’s making you blue
Eat that cake, have those shoes
Take that holiday
Buy that car
Live it up
Act like a star
For all of us are A-listers
Action heroes dodging bullets
Life is a flaming mine field
So grab it by the gullet
Use your time wisely
It’s limited after all
Make every second count
For even the great ones fall
