She Drew The Gun - Poem lyrics
Can't believe what I'm reading when I open up these sheets they've got police getting busier, cleaning up the streets 'Cos that's what we need now to make the place neat take the homeless mans rags,no sleeping bags no place to sleep Because we're far too civilised around here to see an unkempt human being, a broken human being open up your eyes are you seeing what I'm seeing, yeah a misplaced made to feel disgraced human being what it's not enough to just pretend that you don't see him you can't stand the sight so you've got to dissapear him well I hope you feel more comfortable doing your sight seeing taking pictures, buying f**ing Union Jack magnets and keyrings Life give me something to believe in No lies, just something to believe in Am I the only one that's grieving these things that belong to you and you and me that they are thieving It's time for something to believe in I'm tired, need something to believe in Am I the only one that's grieving these things that belong to me that they are thieving And how long until they build a wall and call it a private city they got walls made out of laws to exclude you and me Now they take away our right, to fight those laws for free no legal aid, no more justice, only for the wealthy Oh but they're trying to build a more healthy society So that everybody knows you don't get nothin' for free No scroungers, no living room loungers, living off me Can I suggest you're seeing exactly what they want you to see a monster, cancer, threat to your liberty How 'bout a scapegoat for their crimes, a victim of the times everything that your not meant to be How 'bout a badly prepared, scared human being how about a necessary cog in their economic machines If their was no unemployment tell me how would things be would you still feel lucky to be working 40 hours a week Well like a caged bird and they got us by the beak give us enough to eat, enough to sleep, enough to tweet but there's not enough space between the ground and our feet we're singing songs of freedom but we're not flying free Life give me something to believe in No lies, just something to believe in Am I the only one that's grieving these things that belong to you and me that they are thieving It's time for something to believe in I'm tired, need something to believe in Am I the only one that's grieving these things that belong to me that they are thieving And this whole world's got me hurting got me feeling undeserving got me questioning my worth in this sad system that we're serving found no place in this twisted race for property is making profit the sole aim of humanity Protect the banks, bring out the tanks if they disagree while we're at it let's invest some more in military All our friends have shares so why shouldn't we And now the markets are demanding that we give away for free everything that our grandparents fought for to some company It's called wealth creation, yeah, it's more efficient you see Well sorry I forgot the free market would set us free I forgot to only think about I am and me while brothers and sisters have nothing to eat brothers and sisters, at home and over seas So I can't lie down and I wont let it be While we are working for a market that doesn't work for we These things that they're thieving, yours and mine I know that they're still stealing, but there's still time if you feel this way too x3
