The Guilt and the Glory

From day one they say "listen to me".

You are born with eyes but they're not to see

Keep looking straight ahead and don't let them stray.

Don't question anything, don't think or debate

Because you've seen it once before

And you'll see it again

The strange disappearances of those

Who are the same

The same as the people who fight for their rights

Then backstab each other in middle of the night

The whining freedom anthem songs

Sacrifice the lot to end all the wrongs

'A few lives ruined but we still have the songs'

But the troops are marching on and on and on

We sing our own songs; we choose our own ways

You try to ignore us, but we'll never go away

Looking down on us from your privilege and greed

Taking all you can and making others bleed

Destroying all you touch now

Your answers are through

I'm sure we can do better than you

The left wing manifesto, the right wing sham

Tells us we can't, but I tell you we can

They might tell us we can't but I know that we can

Stuff your lies, you know we can, we can
