lyrics

Well these cities all look the same
The only colours are grey and beige
And everything is there for us to consume
There's nowhere warm for me to sit without having to buy some shit
That I don't want and i can't afford to
I'm not allowed to sing my songs for money without being moved on
By bosses who are profiting off the masses
And because I haven't washed for weeks and i look a mess
That means for me i don't even get a smile from anyone who passes

These buildings are full of shit that we don't need
And our stomachs are full from our insatiable greed
And our prisons are full of slaves and our sky is full of planes
And soon enough we all will be destroyed

Its not enough to boycott the companies that sell their products made in Israel and other places
And when i see these yuppies pageant queens with their bags and shirts that say i'm going green
I want to punch them in their pretty little faces
You are not saving the environment you are not saving any animals
You are not making any kind of difference
So fuck off there's nothing left for you to say

Well our forests are full with pollution and machinery
And our bodies are full with cancer causing drugs
And our wardrobes are full with someone's blood and our minds are so full that they've become numb
And soon enough we all will be destroyed

Well i wanted to travel to this city to see some friends and learn and laugh a lot
But sitting here watching people reminds me of this constant evil
Pervading our minds and making our bodies rot
Everybody's playing on their smartphones
Everyone is eating at burger king
There's nowhere left for us to turn except smash the state, let it burn
And find a way to live with more meaning
Well i tried to believe in revolution, i tried to believe we could all be saved
If we come together peacefully it could be a place for you and me
To live our lives instead of being slaves
But looking around here i see faces that are happy with their mediocre decline
Everything they touch was made with someone else's blood
And yet they'll never have to see what was left behind
Well we are all guilty in everything we do we eat we say
If we really want to take down this system
Then we must all lead the way!
