You know a humane treatment
Ah despite the way you’re treated
And their smiles and lies are covering
Up the fact that you’ve been Fleeced!
And You know that I’m no weatherman
But I think you need a warning
Because when I see you smiling back
I’m seething that they lied!
(and I say!)
Fight For it!
And we can take it!
You smoke and you get through the day
fight for it
Everytime you lose
Oooh, back from the shadows, that great crusade is finally on!
Oooh, you lived in darkness but if you fight theres hope for dawn!
Oooh you may be scared but in the future king will bow to pawn
Ooooh the people coming out of darkness you can count them one to three four five six seven eight one two three four ~ go!
They tell you yeah they are your friends
And you should fucking thank them
And they’ll sing your praises all the way
To their friends down at the bank!
You don’t need no fuckin prophet yeah
To tell you you’re deserving
You simply need to point the gun
Right back at those you’re serving!
(and I say!)
Fight For it!
And we can take it!
You smoke and you get through the day
fight for it
Everytime you lose
Oooh, back from the shadows, that great crusade is finally on!
Oooh, you lived in darkness but if you fight theres hope for dawn!
Oooh you may be scared but in the future king will bow to pawn
Ooooh the people coming out of darkness you can count them one to three four five six seven eight one two three four ~ go!
In the shadows, in the shadows
Our voices don’t return to us (wooah)
And the siren song deafens the workers
With promises dissolving into dust (woaah)
In the shadows that we live in
The build a lie and tell us its our choice (waoah)
And through the chaos of their echo chamber
You’ve got to strain to hear a human voice!
Its coming a new day
no matter what they say
the rise of a new way for us all
so its time to get free
even if you cant see
that there's a degree of pride before the fall
