[Verse 1]

Systematic abuse on a daily basis

You're a racist, you don't know why

Evidence of your intrusion, multiplied by my contusion

You can't suture the future, though you might try


[Chorus]

Because we're cut, dried, microwaved

Safe in the knowledge that we'll all be saved

Because we're cut, dried, microwaved

Safe in the knowledge that we'll all be saved


[Verse 2]

You say there's no black in the Union Jack

But you can't give me a single reason why

I say there's no common wealth in the commonwealth

'Cause it's the colour of your money matters

Since the day the country died


[Chorus]

Because we're cut, dried, microwaved

Safe in the knowledge that we'll all be saved

Because we're cut, dried, microwaved

Safe in the knowledge that we'll all be saved


[Post-Chorus]

Microwaved, microwaved

Microwaved, microwaved


[Instrumental break]


[Bridge]

And don't you read the papers?

Economics is gonna save us

And "Science never sleeps"

'Cause "Science never sleeps"


[Chorus]

Because we're cut, dried, microwaved (Microwaved)

Safe in the knowledge that we'll all be saved

Because we're cut, dried, microwaved (Microwaved)

Safe in the knowledge that we'll all be saved


[Outro]

Because we're cut, dried, microwaved (Microwaved)

Safe in the knowledge that we'll all be saved

Because we're cut, dried, microwaved (Microwaved)

Safe in the knowledge that we'll all be saved

Because we're cut, dried, microwaved (Microwaved)

Safe in the knowledge that we'll all be saved (Microwaved)

Because we're cut, dried, microwaved (Microwaved)

Safe in the knowledge that we'll all be saved
