lyrics
VERSE 1:
If you go outside you see no-one cares for the problems with the place,
They blame the poor, that's the only thing they know,
They say cap the welfare, can everyone and cap everything else,
There is no time for anyone to live
PRE-CHORUS
But the system is all wrong,
And the money it's all gone,
CHORUS
Unless you fight, fight, fight
You will never, ever beat them,
Unless you try, try, try,
You will never, ever defeat them,
It's what you need to know,
VERSE 2:
Lots of people in the street think it's down to immigration,
Ignorance is bliss, it seems that knowledge is power,
Coz if you look closely then you'll see that the problem's at the top,
Oh why, oh why, don't you look this up yourselves?
PRE-CHORUS
Coz the Country's fucking sank,
The rich are laughing to the bank,
CHORUS
Unless you fight, fight, fight
You will never, ever beat them,
Unless you try, try, try,
You will never, ever defeat them,
BRIDGE
Oh while all the right-wing policies blame immigration, it's fucking vile,
Coz while the rich just get richer we're left at the bottom, of the pile,
VERSE 3
If you go outside you see no-one cares for the problems with the place,
They blame the poor, that's the only thing they know,
Coz if you look closely then you'll see that the problem's at the top,
Oh why, oh why, don't you look up this yourselves?
PRE-CHORUS
But the system is all wrong,
And the money it's all gone,
CHORUS
Unless you fight, fight, fight
You will never, ever beat them,
Unless you try, try, try,
You will never, ever defeat them,
Unless you fight, fight, fight
You will never, ever beat them,
Unless you try, try, try,
You will never, ever defeat them,
It's what you need to know,
