Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I see it in your eyes
I know you're telling lies
I never compromise
I've got to break the ties
[Verse 2]
Draw the people in, tell them what to say
Make a false promise then you run away
Draw the people in, fill their heads with lies
Looking like a prophet with your bad advice
Oh no, we won't go
[Verse 3]
The power's in your hands
Don't let them make demands
Your freedom make a choice
Make sure you use your voice
[Verse 4]
Draw the people in, bring up all their needs
How can you plant if you have no seeds?
Win the people in, take away their dreams
Treat them like they're less than a human being
Oh no, we won't go
[Verse 5]
We're taking back control
We're taking back control
[Verse 6]
Always quoting who's law another
Forgetting what's good for the goose is good for the gander
Little did they know it may cause a revolution
Sometimes I will get things done
[Verse 7]
Make the people choose, then stab them in the back
Come in like Caesar in a different hat
Throw the people out, close the borderline
Living in a country going back in time
Oh no, we won't go
[Verse 8]
We're taking back control
We're taking back control
We're taking back control
We're taking back control
Oh no, we won't go
