Lyrics

Lately I've been thinking
'bout my situation
Building walls around me
With their legislation
If you only could see
All the lies you've believed
The wrong that needs undoing
There's a power we command
If united we stand
Fighting for your rights
And you never thought that it could happen to you
I believe the basic thingh in life
Should be free
Health and education
Have ptiority
And they're selling to us
What we alredy own
All we take for granted
There are lessons to learn
But the tide we could turn
So it's down to you
And you never thought that it could happen to you
Hold on
Every thing's gonna be alright
If you only could see
All the lies you've believed
The wrong that needs undoing
There's a power we command
If united we stand
Fighting for our rights
