Why celebrate a failed attempt?
Just let the fireworks go!
Look at you with such contempt,
cos we thought of saying no,
hit out with fear and lies,
and hope we roll with the punches,
and as the rich get rich,
they put it through on their expenses,
Get off your Fucking knees,
can't you see these atrocities?
we're not wounded sheep,
get up and make a stand!
And they can build their walls...
...reach up and pull them down,
Stand up tall, shout out and tell them!
Expecting us to fall in line,
and pick up all the broken pieces,
drinking down the port and wine,
you're the worst kind of leeches!
And with your broken ranks,
and incompatible views,
you just do what you like,
you don't care who will lose!
Get off your Fucking knees,
can't you see these atrocities?
we're not wounded sheep,
get up and make a stand!
And they can build their walls...
...reach up and pull them down,
Stand up tall, shout out and tell them!
You never thought we'd stand and fight,
or fail to put up with your shite,
bring it up when you were wrong,
didn't think we would be strong,
how can we make this clear,
without screaming in your ear,
that your lies and your greed,
have now planted marching feet?
to your door we will stride,
with our new found mended pride,
fuck your wars and your crimes,
we are calling it full time!
fuck your cheers and your jeers,
we won't live our lives in fear,
Single voice it carries strength,
but with many rise again!
Get off your Fucking knees,
can't you see these atrocities?
we're not wounded sheep,
get up and make a stand!
And they can build their walls...
...reach up and pull them down,
Stand up tall, shout out and tell them!
