Common Folk
Now who would be a nurse while the NHS is beat
Saving people's lives while you can't afford to eat
Trying to warn the people who's to blame for all the mess
Ungrateful patients sit by as it's sold to the US
And who would take up teaching in the Britain of today
With systematic bullying and stagnant rates of pay
If future generations mean so little to the right
Feels about time that we had a general strike
So raise your voice and take to the streets
If you want true democracy
The people united will never be divided by their hand
So brace for the attack
And we can take our country back
From liars and fascists and tyrants who think they own this land
It's time for common folk to take a stand
Now who would even dare to take the pronoun of their choice
While the cult of gender critical is silencing their voice
They think they get to tell you who's a woman or a man
While working with the same groups that impose abortion bans
It's more of the same nonsense that queer folx have always faced
There's truly nothing radical about your brand of hate
If you call yourself feminist but shout down those who are trans
You're no better than a woman-hating man
So raise your voice and take to the streets
If you want true democracy
The people united will never be divided by their hand
So brace for the attack
And we can take our country back
From liars and fascists and tyrants who think they own this land
It's time for common folk to take a stand
Who would even dare to cross the ocean waves
Risking their lives to find a land they can feel safe
Asking food and refuge to be told that there's no space
By a Tory-voting boomer with a sweaty gammon face
So raise your voice and take to the streets
If you want true democracy
The people united will never be divided by their hand
So brace for the attack
And we can take our country back
From liars and fascists and tyrants who think they own this land
It's time for common folk to take a stand
Oh it's time for common folk to take a stand
Oh it's time for common folk to take a stand
Oh it's time for common folk to take a stand
Saving people's lives while you can't afford to eat
Trying to warn the people who's to blame for all the mess
Ungrateful patients sit by as it's sold to the US
And who would take up teaching in the Britain of today
With systematic bullying and stagnant rates of pay
If future generations mean so little to the right
Feels about time that we had a general strike
So raise your voice and take to the streets
If you want true democracy
The people united will never be divided by their hand
So brace for the attack
And we can take our country back
From liars and fascists and tyrants who think they own this land
It's time for common folk to take a stand
Now who would even dare to take the pronoun of their choice
While the cult of gender critical is silencing their voice

It's time for common folk to take a stand
Oh it's time for common folk to take a stand
Oh it's time for common folk to take a stand
Oh it's time for common folk to take a stand
