Billy pretty much re-writes this one on an as-needed basis — this is the 2011 version, performed this past November at Keele University in the UK. Verily, he is the wisest of men!
Sample lyric:
Things have not been this bad
since the days of Margaret Thatcher
So stay calm, carry on
and watch X Factor…
The World Wide Web is wonderful
if you’ve got something to sell
but opinions often summon up
a focus group from hell.It’s best not to get distracted
and stay focused on your goals
and take my advice, don’t feed the trolls
(their mum’ll bring them, you know, milk and biscuits before they have to go to bed).
And some of you wonder why I love this man so much. How could I not?
