lyrics

Some days it makes me sad
The human race is destroying itself piece by piece
I must say it doesn’t feel great
That we’re all going to kill each other
Over the last drops of oil and water
Sometimes it gets me down
Neoliberal white supremacist
Hetero-normative patriarchy
But now I think I’ve found the answer to my prayers
It’s my creation, my masterpiece

I built a fort with duvets and the living room chairs
I’m never coming out but you can join me if you want
Please come and see it
Oh come and see
I built a fort with duvets and the living room chairs
I’m never coming out but you can join me if you want
This is it now I’m not going anywhere

I turned on the news today
Earthquakes, dictatorships and war in the Middle East
I try to do my bit
Join forces, build movements
Shout louder, and take them down, yeah
Most days I fight and win
But today I am done with this world
I got no fight left so
I declare this the People’s Republic of My Fort
You are invited cordially

I built a fort with duvets and the living room chairs
I’m never coming out but you can join me if you want
Please come and see it
Oh come and see
I built a fort with duvets and the living room chairs
I’m never coming out but you can join me if you want
This is it now I’m not going anywhere

If you’re fucked up and you know it clap your hands
If you’re fucked up and you know it clap your hands
If you’re way beyond repairing and everyone stopped caring
If you’re fucked up and you know it clap your hands

If you’re fucked up and you know it stamp your feet
If you’re fucked up and you know it stamp your feet
If you’re focused on survival but you’re feeling suicidal
If you’re fucked up and you know it stamp your feet

I built a fort with duvets and the living room chairs
I’m never coming out but you can join me if you want
Please come and see it
Oh come and see
I built a fort with duvets and the living room chairs
I’m never coming out but you can join me if you want
This is it now I’m not going anywhere

It’s the independent, radical
Funny, sexy, magical
People’s Republic of My Fort
