lyrics

yo yo fuck a nine to five man im busting at the seams
while the tax man makes a call ill be living all my dreams
i smashed the meat wagon then i picked the bone clean
while my footseps left a sound i was gone before was seen
if this is the way then world is so fucked
where the little mans screwed for the profit of a buck
we get told to work longer, yet the taxes get pushed up
bailouts, like were sinking but the ship is bottoms up.
profits getting stronger corporations take their plunder
the media hate monger blaming people that are under
a class system praised by the ones who make the rules
but the truths that their hiding should be teaching in the schools
the papers spread their lies, bought by people demonized
you hear the headlines, where its sold like nursery rhymes.
we got
blah blah black man have you any dole
ive not read the muslims message but i hate their tainted souls.
or the one about the immigrant who stole from bo peep
while asians robbed mother hubbard as she was weeping in her sleep
we forget that the people we blame are ourselves
introspective, yet deceptive we can seek our own help

we rise, standing tall, together as one, never shall fall (x2)
blind in our minds, truth and lies intertwined
together as one never will fall. together as one we stand stall

it may not be ideal but its ok if its you
but not the guy on the dole who bought his tv brand new
words get thrown about like a flat screen tv
but if your watching the box then its all lcd
like where can you buy a screen that isnt made flat
even buying in the paper then they all come like that
we dont think we never question but we always answer back
while their claiming second mortgages did you ever think of that?
or a lord with his manor while he rents out council flats
as the people growing thinner but the profits getting fat
ceo of tescos living glamourised lives
whilst the workers stacking shelves get a minimum rise
wages based around a cost of living doesnt match
working to survive but getting left without a scratch
Bankers claiming bonuses, see the evil in their eyes
while police are beating people like theyre children swatting flies



we rise, standing tall, together as one, never shall fall (x2)
blind in our minds, truth and lies intertwined
together as one never will fall. together as one we stand stall


theres a line that we crossed way before it was drew
feeding all our hatred till the melting pot blew
outdated policies, lies told through and through
out with the old and burn down the blue
unjust laws make the world go around
while there backed by lords and ladies who were born with their crown
how can you tell me its the best choice for us
when youve never slept rough let alone caught the bus
we talk of cast systems how we're better than that
but by default a monarchy is a negative attack
it helps to segregate and put some higher than the rest
but being born a leader before you even flown the nest
it really isnt fair if your bloodline makes you top
of the chain before its forged, giving titles has to stop.
but it wont ever happen as the lords call the shots
rigged elections, fear infections keep us locked up till we rot
rotting in a box thats sold onto make
profit prison systems where we help to profile race
keeping the masses locked up in chains, cheap human labour
everywheres the same.


we rise, standing tall, together as one, never shall fall (x2)
blind in our minds, truth and lies intertwined
together as one never will fall. together as one we stand stall
