[Hook]

Everythin’ must go

Everythin’ must go

Everythin’ must go

No squares in the circle

Everything must roll

What’s the plan when the smoke clears

An’ it all takes its toll?

I don’t know


[Verse 1]

Uh

Futurist

Ludicrous

Like the news except my views are true and I cut through the mist

Scrupulous

I’ll dismiss if you persist

Deep down I’m a youthanist

Still ruthless

Bitter sweet

Neutralist

Not new to this

I can see the world dwindlin’

Got my spider sense tinglin’

I’m just out here minglin’

All I see is politicians runnin’ round tryna keep their pockets jinglin’

Sounds like I’m singlin’

Can’t forget about the back scamps and the swindlin’

No point in lingerin’

Everybody’s gotta eat

Somebody’s gonna cheat

Out here on a tightrope tryna stand on their two feet

Kids are tryna be street

It’s peak

Get swept off of their feet before them condos are complete

Yeah it’s deep


[Refrain]

Everythin’ must go

No squares in the circle

Everything must roll

Rollin’ up that crow

It’s gettin’ out of control

What’s the plan when the smoke clears

An’ it all takes its toll?

I don’t know


[Hook]

Everythin’ must go

Everythin’ must go

Everythin’ must go

No squares in the circle

Everything must roll

What’s the plan when the smoke clears

An’ it all takes its toll?

I don’t know


[Verse 2]

Uh

Bottle poppers and socialites

Gassed up and over-hyped

No oversight

Really puttin’ on a show tonight

Not me

I’m overtight

Girl told me I’m miserable

She said why you gotta overanalyse

Why can’t you just let loose and have fun like them other guys?

Jumpin' round like orangutans on the table

With their sparklers

And their champagne all publicised

Why you always gotta sumarise

Why can’t you just live life in the moment?

And act like this glamour life ain't just a bunch o lies?

But I’m wide awake I can’t fake no more

Wide awake I can’t take no more

It was fun while it lasted

But it’s the kind of shit I can’t rate no more

Kind of shit you get carried away and start movin’ lose

And get posted up on your Instagram and fans hate you for

Cos the excess just vexes

The world’s more complex than being first name on the guest list

Or sexist, being reckless with a dancer in Texas

Named Lexus I’m restless

Textin’ all my exes like


[Hook]

Everythin’ must go

Everythin’ must go

Everythin’ must go

No squares in the circle

Everything must roll

What’s the plan when the smoke clears

An’ it all takes its toll?

I don’t know

[Outro: Boris Johnson]

The last thing we want to have in our city is a situation like a-such as Paris where erm the less well off are pushed to the suburb, that is not going to happen in London

I will emphatically resist any attempt er to-to-to recreate a London in which the rich and poor can't live together
