CHORUS hey there come and hear what we say and we hope you don't mind if we put it this way 'cos we've all got a voice at the end of the day if you want to see what we mean come and hear what we say he asked for a million dollars then he asked for a million more he said if I don't get what I want I'm going to walk right out that door so we gathered around his mahogany desk and wished him a fond farewell six months have pa**ed and we're doing pretty well six months gone and we're doing rather well they talk of how to counter insurgence with a strategy that's clear but do they spend five minutes on our city's streets broken gla** and cans of beer there's no human rights around midnight when our people hide in fear if you can do one thing then get me out of here if you can't do nothing then get me out of here CHORUS hey people etc we believed in copenhagen kyoto cape town and cancun on a mission against emission they were too weak to see it through so do we turn and head for the uplands and mourn for the coral reef it's hard to accept that all this should come to grief and hard to deny that they have betrayed our belief CHORUS hey man etc there's a pub up on the corner where we used to raise a jar they had jazz on Sunday mornings with snacks up on the bar but now the landlord he looks like a dangerous dog with an earing through his nose he's got the cranial tatoo but there's something about his clothes he's got a problem with his clothes CHORUS BRIDGE step change sea change loose change spare change any change at all are we going to get ready or do we take the fall she stands at a first floor window a baby in her arms (she knows that) one more day on that desperate estate will only bring her serious harm she's been vandalised she's been brutalised she's been driven to her knees but with one small step perhaps they can be free just one small step and then they can be free CHORUS hey sister etc (then CHORUS repeat ad lib out)
