Whoever said pop-punk is never political?
The second of two lead singles from Neck Deep’s third studio album states the band’s opinions on the current political climate, taking jabs at Donald Trump and Theresa May.
[Verse 1]
Oh what a time to be alive!
Wake up and smell the dynamite
And keep your eyes locked tight to that screen
And don't believe everything that you see
And you'll find modern life's a catastrophe
[Chorus]
Is it just me or does anyone else feel like this could be farewell?
Oh, we almost had it then we pissed it all away
Building walls and dropping bombs
Stop the world, I'm getting off
Oh, we almost had it
Never thought I'd see the day
When the world went up in flames
When the world went up in flames
[Verse 2]
We all worship celebrities, desperate for an identity
But cigarettes and MDMA don't give you substance
You don't think about what you say
'Cause your mouth is bigger than your brain
It's a shame, so fake and you’re all the same
[Chorus]
Is it just me or does anyone else feel like this could be farewell?
Oh, we almost had it then we pissed it all away
Building walls and dropping bombs
Stop the world, I'm getting off
Oh, we almost had it
Never thought I'd see the day
When the world went up in flames
When the world went up in flames
[Bridge]
There's a black cat in the windows of Parliament
There's a man in the back of a black cab, talking about the good days
When it all went up in flames (Happy judgement day)
It all went up in flames (Happy judgement day)
C'mon!
[Chorus]
Is it just me or does anyone else feel like this could be farewell?
Oh, we almost had it then we pissed it all away
Building walls and dropping bombs
Stop the world, I'm getting off
It's been a long time coming
Never thought I'd see the day (No way!)
It's been a long time coming
Never thought I'd see the day
When the world went up in flames
The world went up in flames

Ben stated in an interview with Alternative Press:
“Happy Judgement Day” is on the panic side, and really, that song is a comment on the current social and political climate. That feels like an important topic, and it’s a panic for a lot of people right now—where’s the world going? It should also b...
Ben Barlow in a track-by-track with Kerrang!:
“The was one that we wrote in the studio with [producer] Mike Green. He had the riff, and as soon as we heard it we said, ‘That’s sick – let’s instantly make that into a song’. Mike has this really good ear for structure, and helped us to hone in on thi...
