lyrics

Take a look to the sky and you'll see that this is not the way
We slave away all our days to a wage understand that the interest we pay
Is what lines their pockets full of gold
Makes money off money off money
Pushes debt till we're broke
but he's gonna fuckin' choke
When we catch them they're gonna be running

We'll smack them down and make them see
And feel a little empathy
For all of this catastrophe
They've caused to humanity

They starve the population
From knowledge that could take them
Away from all the pain
But they're just too dumb
It's time for reparations
We're gonna fucking shake them
Out of this state of comatose
They're cold and numb

Wake up you fucking hypocrites
This world it doesn't give a shit
And neither should you if you don't want to get hit
By the darkest vibes that all mankind
Could think into our fucking lives
Are you ready for a new start with the stars of our kin
Destroy the image of the system be done with it.

They only want to shape you
Master manipulate you
The truth you try to seek
Sits behind your eyes
You try to fuckin' find it
But always are denied it
Your senses are defenceless they can show you lies

And they will if you don't think for all mankind
And choose to use your fucking mind
To think of things to help us all
Cos we don't need to take this fall
Don't think just because you can see that you're not blind
To the fact that we're running out of time
I know your sick of standing in line
Like lambs at slaughterhouses waiting to die
Just pivot to the right
Stand side by side
Now feel your might and be transformed

Now we're not a force to be reckoned with
Beneath the surface was a purpose it was only hidden
From the people so that we could grow
And show the world you never know
What's lurking round the corner
Blow away the crooked order and
Sing about the oceans and the mountains and our mother
She put up with all our shit
And we're still here so she must love us
If the end was really coming we'd already be dead
Tear it down and wear your crown we're just begging.
