Capitalise

We want to speak now
And we won't say that we're sorry (oh no)
We know we're weak now
You're soaking in your glory (but it's overdue)
We understand now,
That you're using us for money (capitalising-lising)
We want to stand now
Right up there where it's sunny (new sun is rising)

Why do you capitalise, on all of their vulnerable lives
Filling their head up with lies, until they look dead in the eyes
Right in the dead of the night, please tell me why all these veterans fight
If it's for a better life, that's some bad advice
Should've stayed with their wives
Burning the world for percentage and points, green up on that chart
Turning it dark, smoke blocking the sun right now
Down in our permanent park
Swum with the sharks, so, don't act surprised when they rip us apart
You really can't, we went to bed with them
Should've said no when they asked us to dance
Paid in advance, politicians they're paid in pain
We wait in vain, villainous venom is filling my pen so my page is insane
Mining that vein, drilling and drugging our blood
Keeps us part of the game, we wanna change
But the system that's in place keeps on pulling our reins
Heavy chains, weighing us down, breaking us now
Waiting vacant making us drown
Degradating and painting us with a hateful and racist brush
We're awaiting a debate while you take to blockading us
You're so fake and betraying us and your face is an anus
And we want to take you down but the media's playing us
We know death is awaiting us, calculating the time it's taken us
To get nowhere, get nowhere!

We want to speak now
And we won't say that we're sorry (oh no)
We know we're weak now
You're soaking in your glory (but it's overdue)

I feel like we're post truth, and it's hopeless
It feels like a joke but
But there's no punchline

Not just a dot on the screen
Gotta stop boxing me up for your dream
'Cause I'm not an option for your corporate scheme
To redeem, I'm a human being and been
To hell and back, traveled well in fact
With a big backpack to repel attacks
In a fit of action smacked back at you killers
Back at ya with an act vernacular a knack for the
Spectacular
Everybody wanna be free from their chains
So they act bitter
And I wanna be great but I can't remake this race
So I'd rather look at Twitter
What an excuse, there's nothing to do
When we're under abuse, but there's only a few
People ready to go, when it's under review
If it could happen to them, it could happen to you
So get up, don't let up, be better
If it doesn't feel right blow your whistle, stick your head up
But what can we do for those villainous few
Those of us who, don't know what we do
Can't empathise or sympathise or see your eyes
When they capitalise
It's just money, blinding them all, finding their fall
Binded and bound to the mind of us all!

We want to speak now
You've taken all the money (oh no)
We know we're weak now
What more could you take from me?
We understand now...
We want to stand now...
