Politics of Hope (feat. Owen Jones)
The rights and freedoms that we have today
Were won by your mothers, your fathers, your grandmothers
Your grandfathers, your ancestors before them
We stand on the shoulders of giants and we owe it to our ancestors
Not just to defend the rights and freedoms
That they fought for at such cost and at such sacrifice
That continue their struggle that a different sort of society
Not a society run in the interests of a tiny elite
But a society run in the interests of the majority
Those who preach the politics of the spare
They want us to believe that all in justice is like the weather
That you can complain about your raining
But there's nothing you can do about it
But the politics of hope tells us something else
Were won by your mothers, your fathers, your grandmothers
Your grandfathers, your ancestors before them
We stand on the shoulders of giants and we owe it to our ancestors
Not just to defend the rights and freedoms
That they fought for at such cost and at such sacrifice
That continue their struggle that a different sort of society
Not a society run in the interests of a tiny elite
But a society run in the interests of the majority
Those who preach the politics of the spare
They want us to believe that all in justice is like the weather
That you can complain about your raining
But there's nothing you can do about it
But the politics of hope tells us something else
