Lyrics

Of what atrocities has it been ensured that we don’t know, so we can’t atone?
Built on broken backs, an inherent born advantage
Wilful ignorance to generations of injustice
State-mandated disillusion
The poison’s on the menu and the masses are inhaling it
Oh god, they’re downing every drip
Guzzling the problem, no thirst for the solution
Our complicity yanks us back, paralyses like a heart attack
Rewritten by the winners
Constructs moulded to ensure we don’t know what we did
The reins are never given
The conmen won’t concede, they won’t give up their seats
These hypodermic lines
Don’t ask why the haves have all they need, meanwhile the have-nots bleed
Nothing to see
Try as they might, our teachers lose the fight against these parasites
In spite of facts in black and white
Corrupted narrative
(Diluted) whitewashed stories for fragile Tories
A patriotic propaganda stream
“God Save the King!”
I don’t think we’ll change this cycle overnight
The chancers won’t go out without a fight
Lying to hold on to their power
This noose must be untied
I don’t think we’ll change this cycle overnight
The chancers won’t go out without a fight
They’ll never compromise their power
A planet sanitised
Try as they might, our teachers lose the fight against these parasites
We built on broken backs
