Mangan, Dan - Race To The Bottom Lyrics
And so the artist screams into an empty cup
He says that you're a soulless bunch, but you could still wake up
And the capitalist says he's born to be free
He says, "You're poor, my friends. But you don't have to be!"
We don't know what we got or if we got it
And what we had, we already forgot it
The race is evidently to the bottom
We don't, we don't, we don't know what to say
I don't know what to say
And so the thumpers preach both love and hate
They say, "You're naughty filth, but you could still be saved!"
And the people wait for the bell to ring
They say, "We need a song. We need a song to sing!"
Here's what we know
We don't know what we got or if we got it
And what we had, we already forgot it
The race is evidently to the bottom
We don't, we don't, we don't know what to say
Don't know what it was but we want it back
Like every generation will repeat the last
Put a halo on a figurehead or photograph
Resist a little bit, and then become the man
Dreaming of a simpler time, it occurs to me
That the past is hypothetical fantasy
And nostalgia just ain't what it used to be
Here's what we know
We don't know what we got or if we got it
And what we had, we already forgot it
The race is evidently to the bottom
We don't, we don't, we don't know what to say
[x2]
I don't know what to say
I don't know what to say

Mangan, Dan Race To The Bottom Comments
Dan has to be one of the best singer/songwriters there is
Es realmente una de las mejores músicas que he escuchado... un saludo desde Perú Dan Mangan... espero que un día estés por aquí (y)
"What we had, we already forgot it." So true. Great song. Typing "race to the bottom" into Google paid off!
Not sure if those stock pictures are put there ironically or not
Great song! I love it
good song but too many socialist undertones with the images
this is the soundtrack of 2016/2017
we don't know what we've got or if we've got it. these words confuse me..
i can t figure out why that vidéo does not pass on musicale Chanels often it is some facts of the reality of life over the world right now and soon futur but peoples are blind and lie inside deny the true.
Instant classic!
Love it!

The past is a hypothetical fantasy
And nostalgia just ain't what it used to be"
