Money makes the world go around But if you’ve not got it you may drown, And theres plenty of this I see Happening in my town on the daily, People struggling just to eat People without enough money simply to heat, Their homes and children, ain’t that a shame Because they’re not succeeding at the…

Life is hard And life is short, So don’t be ruled And don’t be fooled, Don’t live life By others concepts, Create your own Show yourself respect, Live the life We want to live, Share and don’t be Afraid to give, Share the love and unity Cast of hate And cast off greed, Be the…

Let’s just stand and watch the whole establishment of privilege burn We can stoke the fire, each one of us in turn, Let’s watch and cheer as we watch their corrupt greedy system burn And I for for one will show little fucking concern, It’s about the unjust and unequal system that is stern Towards…
