I went to a dinner party
With recipes by Jamie O
We talked about “Love Island” and the
Works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau

We talked of this and that and all the
Problems that we have to face
Like how the Range Rover's no good for shopping
'Cause Waitrose doesn't have the space

Why do they never collect our bins?
And, have you see the Daily Mail?
The house prices have fallen and there are
Scuff marks on my Chippendale

CHORUS
It isn't happening at all if
It's not happening to me
I'll change the channel and turn the page it's
My complacency

But, what of trouble in the world at large?
All the issues beyond our door
Where do we buy our figs from now
That region's torn apart by war?

Is it selfish to ask why global strife
Should spoil our holiday?
And, surely, it's not unsound to want your
Neighbours to all look the same?

“All Lives Matter” we tell ourselves
“How come straight pride's not a thing?”
"Obesity can't be real because
Everybody I know is thin"

CHORUS
It's not a problem for anyone if it's
Not a problem for me
I'll just sit here comfortable in
My complacency

I'll cover up my eyes and
Pretend I cannot see too far
I'll put my fingers in my ears and go
“La la la, la lala la la”

It's not a bubble we're living in
It's a spacious and desirable sphere
Just draw the curtains on the real world
And there is nothing to fear

CHORUS
It's not a problem for anyone if it's
Not a problem for me
I'll just sit here comfortable in
My complacency

CHORUS
It isn't happening at all if
It's not happening to me
I'll change the channel and turn the page it's
My complacency
