Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Fish from the paper

Fresh from the sea

The cracks in the pavement

The city in siege

[Verse 2]

I don't know where to replace it or who to believe

I can't find an opinion that ain't on its knees

Scratching around in a secondhand gown when

You shouldn't be

[Verse 3]

We're gonna to wake up the nation and don't be no drag

Shake up the station and out of their hands

We're going to wake up the nation, don't be no drag

Shake up the station and out of their hands

Nowhere to be

Nowhere to bleed

[Verse 4]

Get your face out the Facebook and turn off your phone

What with the death of the post box, nowhere feels home

Scratching around in a secondhand gown when

You shouldn't be

[Verse 5]

Nowhere to be

Nowhere to bleed

[Verse 6]

We're gonna to wake up the nation and don't be no drag

Shake up the station and out of their hands

We're gonna to wake up the nation and don't be no drag

Shake up the station and out of their hands

[Verse 7]

We're gonna to wake up the nation and don't be no drag

Shake up the station and out of their hands

We're gonna to wake up the nation and don't be no drag

Yeah, shake up the station and out of their hands

So we're gonna to wake up the nation and don't be no drag

Shake up the station and out of their hands
