My thoughts from the London Riots and recent events. |
Think you got us at bay? Think you can hide it all away? We'll go burn it away Just burn it all away! From every shop to car, We gonna put it all to flames We, the middle children, Futureless but all that is left Of the future, towards the light, Of your burning Mercedes Benz! Policemen line the street, Willing us to retreat, Away from the screens Where the world hears our screams Killing the pulse of our beat Away from the wrathful heat. All they gonna do Is convert us back to sheep, Swallow down without a bleat Cough up blood in alleyways Rise up in arms as the strays In our flag of pain we sway, Insane. Whatever we gonna say, Truth really is, no one knows Cuz no one gives a shit, All united under one cause, Just to cause, Chaos, without all your flaws Some say freedom Some say justice Into the fire we will lead 'em. And out of the woods, Smouldering behind us Of a nation choked in fear. A dead youth with no purpose Turn around, face the wall Look through, see the child Into his eyes, a flame entices, In your eyes, a car rises, Set alight, but oh so bright. If all of it's to shame, For causing all this pain It's only you we'll have to blame We started the fire, But it was you who gave us this desire, It was you who ignored all our cries Under democracy lies your ill fit guise. And still you sit, in all that plush Give the order, It's just our souls you'll crush. Turn back, swivel away Pretend you can't see As the rich have their way This time it's not gonna stay, Cuz there's nothing left to say. Now it's just shells of people, Creating shells of rubble, Wading in our sea so desolate Dragging all that dead weight, But you tried to care all too late. And you tried to share all to late. |
