They control
They lock us down
They distract
They stifle our sounds,
Sounds of freedom
And exposing corruption,
Lack of equality
Not everybody is sharing,
When we’re struggling
Those who lead are not caring,
They exploit us each day
Make us work so no time for play,
All for the dollar dollar bill
Which is minimum wage,
Freedom and love
Is all that I crave,
But this has never been
And never will be their way,
So we have to stand strong
And be authentic today.
So I work so hard to earn some money
Just enough to keep my head above water,
And to stop me drowning in deep waters
Then along comes the tax man and hits me with a bill,
That makes my hard graft worthless still,
The man who allows big multinational corporations
Sell their wares without paying tax,
Or like formula paying a one percent sweat heart deal
Is this system for fucking real?
Why do they get away with paying nothing
And if I tried the same I’d end up in prison,
This is what they call a fare and equal affair
Well that’s me fucked and the tax man don’t even care,
Because this is a society that simply doesn’t wealth share.
Fuck all corrupt government
Ripping this world and societies apart,
These governments who serve wealth and power
Create wars that make global citizens cower,
They divide so they can control
The wealth of Nations they stole and sold,
They then tell us the world’s in crippling debt
To who exactly the Illuminati sect?
The monetary system was created by men who sought wealth,
Now they use it control everything else,
Governments are puppets to these bankers
And so are the oligarch media that hankers,
For a piece of the pie and so unashamedly print lies,
Unelected svengali’s live off all of this, like an infestation of fleas,
All of these are addicted and dedicated to greed
And we the people will never be free,
Of their exploitation and their controlling ways
Stand against them they’ll make us pay,
Communist or capitalist
They’re all United and that’s the twist,
Political left or political right
They’re there to instill divides,
Religion uses exactly the same tools
And altogether they treat us people as fools,
And they live in luxury while we fight to survive
It’s time to stop believing their fucking lies,
We need a paradigm political shift
Clear the decks and rid us of the shit,
And build new systems based on equality and sharing,
A new world order based on peace and caring,
With no fucking borders, flags or anthems,
Just a united people of United Nations,
Wake up people and see the truth
This can happen but it needs me and you,
And every person who wants better life
Based on living fair and living right,
To rise up now one and for all
And oppose the corrupt governments that rule.
Life work balance has been lost
And it is to our personal cost
We slave to earn a pittance of pay
Working longer hours every day
Trying to make every end meet
So tired, we’re dead on our feet
It makes our misery complete
Our suffering is wholly replete.
They say always stay aspirational
Never look down always look up,
But all I see a glass ceiling
Made of reinforced glass construct,
They say stay positive while you’re being held down
Scaping up the scraps from the rich tables
As they trickle down to the ground,
It’s always those not in poverty
That see the chances we don’t see,
Because they have the luxury of a life more easy,
Whereas we have the struggle of striving to survive
We do what we can but when do we get the time?
Usually we’re too exhausted in body and mind
From the daily servile grind,
That we need to partake in, to pay the bills
Our life is so basic, there’s no fucking frills,
Slaving in the workhouse and the dark satanic mills,
Run by the rich who exploit us still,
I got the inspiration and I got the will,
But to be honest, of this life and society I’ve had my fill.
I came to simply observe
But I got caught up in the moment,
As the passions started rising
And the chants and songs rang out,
How could I stand by and passively observe
The thought of that and the notion,
Of that to me is so absurd
So I weighed into the crowd and made my voice heard,
And as a few then tried to trigger violence
I said that’s the police’s answer not ours,
Do not rise to the bait just stand strong and curse
Use the power of your numbers,
And sing we will not be moved
The power of force is used mostly, by the boys in blue,
Don’t give them any reason, to bust protesters heads
Do not rise to the hate and violence that you’ve been fed,
Just stand strong and stand in unity
Muslim, Christian, black and white,
Don’t you see it’s the governments plan
To divide us, then cause us to fight,
To the rich and privileged we are all simply, just fucking scum
This is why we must come together and stand up for our rights,
I saw within the crowd a multitude of colours and faiths,
And I realised the rich, powerful and privileged
Just maybe losing their sway,
But there’s many more that won’t see this
Because they’re blinded by greed and hate,
And to wrapped up in the xenophobic idea of the nation state,
But when the protest finished and no fight broke out
The media lost interest and left those reports out,
Because we live within a system that divides and controls
For its own self serving ends and to help their own privilege grow,
So don’t you be an observer, go into the heart of it
And help to promote change,
To bring about a better world in which we wish to live.
The shit we get
Is the shit we accept,
Chlorinated chicken
What the fuck next,
GMO products already full the shelves
They don’t care one bit,
If it’s detrimental to our health
They lower food standards,
This is to ramp up their profits
And to all prospective trading partners easy access,
To feed us the shit that they produce
And they force us to eat it,
As our wages and living standards are reduced
Polluted fruit and veg grown in polluted soil,
Contaminated by their pesticides
Question them on it and they lie,
Look a little deeper and pry
And ask more questions why?
Why have you lowered food standards?
Why are you importing substandard food?
They can’t answer this
And if they do they take the piss,
Thinking we are as ignorant as them
It’s time for these wrongs and lies to end.
We accept your
Dirty conscience money,
It keeps us quiet
And out keeps us all servile,
It anaesthetise’s us
Against reality,
It keeps us in line,
Keeps production going
Keeps their wealth flowing,
Leaves us tired
Leaves us stressed,
So there’s no time
For anything else,
We are grateful
For crumbs that fall,
From the tables
Of the rich above is all,
We don’t question
We just go to work,
Don’t hit targets
They say you shirk,
Push you every single day
Motive being a pittance of pay,
Slave to the system
Slave to work,
They see themselves as elite
And they treat us like dirt,
So conditioned to this
We don’t understand the hurt,
They say having a jobs s perk
Manking money for the rich,
They get the best of everything
Our pound of flesh we give,
Just trying to survive
Just striving to live.
Violence begets violence everytime
It doesn’t even matter who’s on what side,
Violence loses you the arguement and clouds the mind
No one should ever look to cross that line,
Intellectual discourse is the only way
Using reasoned arguement does more to sway,
The minds of those who are opposed to your views
Use your fist or use your mind,
It up to you to choose
Meaningful dialogue or a short fuse,
Remember though who tells you what to do
They’ve got an agenda to use you,
Firing you up to fight is a form of abuse
No matter what side you’re on
You’re being taken for a fool,
Violence is not acceptable in any form
Step into the new intellectual dawn,
And make reasoned based discourse become the norm.
Nationalistic jingoism and bigotry on our streets
All about unintelligible fascistic thug like Nazi’s,
Promoting fear and violence because they’ve had to much to drink,
They say they are protecting England’s proud and historical dream,
While defending Churchill statue but they cannot see,
Churchill fought and beat down upon the nationalistic Nazi beliefs,
They are clearly so confused and lacking in any understanding
That Churchill fought what they are now, representing,
A once tried and failed fascist, fear filled, violent society
We must stop the rise of this malicious and vicious disease.
