Mystery Jets - Screwdriver Lyrics






An old mighty thunderstorm
Hooligans in uniform
Demonstrating up the drive
Desecrating the national flag

Hate masquerading as pride
Say you got God on your side
But you ain't why Jesus died

I never dreamed that it would come to this
But an enemy is only what you fight them with

Fight them with love!
Fight them with love!

'Cause when the power of love
Overcomes the love of power
Then the world will be ours
Then the world will be ours

In the eye of a hurricane
Getting high on the fumes of your fate
Veins running on puritan blood
Act like you're jury and judge

Denigrating the human race
Preaching intolerant hatred
Say you got God on your side
But you're just why Jesus cried

Jesus cried
Why Jesus cried
Why Jesus cried

Jesus cried

I never dreamed that it would come to this
But an enemy is only what you fight them with, fight them with
I never thought that it would come to this
But an enemy is only what you fight them with
Fight them with love...

Overcomes the love of power
Then the world will be ours
They're no saints, they are liars
They go low, we go higher
They go low, we go higher
They go low...

Fight them with love!
Fight them with love!
Yeah!

'Cause when the power of love
Overcomes the love of power
Then the world will be ours
Then the world will be ours
Will be ours
Will be ours

    Love this song! Just heard it on the radio 👌 Class 🤟🏻❤️

  10. W.... V....

    This song has been a real grower on me. To get the full amazing impact of the whole incredible package, it is committing an offence not to turn the volume up. A must for people on their way to nights out in 'da' clubs, getting ready to party hard, yeah man.
    Can just imagine it, driving up the motorway, stereo on, singing in synch to Screwdriver. Get lost in it all, music is the drug, all of a sudden we are bumper to bumper with the other cars, every motorist is now hypnotised.
    Good thundering beats, which to me is most important, fantastic harmonies, soulful sort of lyrics, full of emotion vocals, this really sets me on fire.
    Best of luck to these splendid musicians, I'm with you all the way.
    Oh God, I've locked myself out, now where is that screwdriver?

  11. T.... S....

  14. S.... ....

    Go get them boys!

  15. R.... Q....

    Damning of Trumps policies or Brexit in the UK. Awesome song demonstrating the shortfalls of politicians worldwide.

  16. C.... W....

  17. r.... g....

    Loving this brilliant track. 👌👌👌👌

  18. T.... H....

    I find it a little pedestrian in quality, a bit of the usual " modern rock" and I'm surprised it's being greeted with such admiration. It's probably good on a netflix series, I expect it will be. 💤

  19. �.... ....

    I have been loving your songs a long time.
    They are wonderful!
    Please come to Japan again.

  20. D.... A....

    Great minds think alike 🤟🏼radio 1

    B.... S....

    same m8

  23. Z.... ....

    One of my favourite bands, and a great song. However, I don't like that they've become political, prefer just apolitical topics like love, loss and euphoria. They talk about fighting with love, but clearly only have one target in their sights, and it's not antifa, with their bike locks and bottles of piss to the head.

    Z.... ....

    it's amazing how liberals have completely coopted the concept of "love" like they're the only ones capable of it, while in the same breath criticising those who say they have "god on their side". It's easy to pretend like you're one of the "good guys saving the world"

  24. a.... c....

    pls explain my boner

  25. I.... n....

    Yes, nice one guys! Been waiting for this

  29. D.... H....

    Brilliant song, hope the album is as strong as this single.
    Speaking about the track, Blaine Harrison from the band said:

    “Screwdriver is about the mechanics of intolerance. Looking back at times of economic instability in history, we see how easily deep chasms grow in society and the population seeks change wherever it is most convincingly promised. Conflict arises as cultures and belief systems clash, unwilling to accept one another’s place in society, because we are fed the rhetoric that our neighbours are those responsible for our problems: then inevitably nationalism once more raises its ugly head above the parapet. But whereas political agendas fuel divisiveness, music unites and reminds us of all that we have in common. The message of Screwdriver is not a pessimistic one - because perhaps faced with confrontation we can find understanding, and even maybe learn how to listen to, and love one another.”

    D.... H....

    it's all connected
