HIGHLAND EXPERIENCE

Dear god save us
We're the wicked generation
Dear god save us
We're the wicked generation
Dear god save us
We're the wicked generation
Dear god save us
We're the wicked generation
Dear god save us
We're the wicked generation
Dear god save us
We're the wicked generation
Dear god save us
We're the wicked generation

It's been bloody in the Highlands
In the Highlands
We're Benign to the violence
Corrupted by the silence
Bloody in the Highlands
In the Highlands
Modern day living here is causing mass dividence
Well what's it like nowadays, uh
Huh
It's Bitter sweet, I gotta say, uh
Cause you can walk along the bonnie canal
And see severed limbs stationed as warning to his pals
Drug residue, morning dew
It's hard to tell the difference
Knife crime, suicide
There ain't no fucking ears to listen
Seen it live, eyes wide
And the trajectory is vertical
This ain't the place to live
If you're expecting the merciful
The walls are sprayed in cursive
You can't reverse it
Protect your loved ones from the pain
Cause they don't deserve it
You may not see it every day
Hell, you see it every other
And you grateful that you ain't shouting
"Shit, TAKE COVER"
Like America
Shot up in hysteria
We got a different shooting up
Not a Glock - but still buries ya
Now I'm not tryna scare you off
This land is truly beautiful
But you're a fool for overlooking issues that are near to ya
Bloody in the Highlands
In the Highlands
We're benign to the violence
Corrupted by the silence
Bloody in the Highlands
In the Highlands
Modern day living here is cause mass dividence

Residing the past is vibrant in violence
A genocide that's underlying in hiding
Convert the culture scrambled and tortured by vultures
Fostered to coasters held up like posters and forced to
Replaced by sheep
Got nowhere to sleep
These bodies cannot rest in peace
It's on church street
The execution peak
Nowhere to go, you've been doomed to know
Condemned by god to be boiled down to the dead and lost

Gun shot, head shot
Flip a coin, take off
Culture gone, stripped off
Language shunned, can't stop
Martyr got, head chopped
London bridge, face of
Wallace got, shamed on
Quarted up, tar topped, yuh
Uh
Well what the fuck, is all that about
Uh
Dictatorship, is a remnant of
Uh
Below the deck, English skeletons
Yuh
Track record? Oh it can't go wrong
UK
Been oppressing since the Tudor days
Uh
Oh now they do it in the newer age
Bruh
Knife crime is so fucking sky high
While the cabinet sip wine knowing that they're
Chill and fine
Media suppression
Taking aggression
Putting people in conflict together
Did I fail to mention
The cost of your pension
Students in debt is their self oppression
Tax the poor is their business
3% interest
While the billionaires keep investing
Bankers gone ballistic
Investing your interest
Bonuses galore

Ah feel yah
Battle of Culloden
Two hundred and seventy-eight years on
Why it seem like there's nothing new to do
In this new world it's still war torn
The revolution won't be televised
Unfreezing your mind
With a fresh jolt
When I look within
I know my health is my wealth
Arms dealers wielding and yielding running the globe
Monopolizing profit over people suffering deceitful lies
Hold the world back
An eye for an eye
Keeps the world blind
Bastard ransacking attacks
Fae the redcoats
Inevitably got the Highlanders clearing
Pressing Highland culture integration to the British state
No tartan was allowed
Next objective kill our native tongue
True stories from the innocent of those once oppressed
Ancestors affected to this day
Burdened by grief the clans were disbanded
An individualistic approach was adopted
To squash any uprising
Shitty the greed engulfs power perversions
In the view of our Heavenly Father
Are we really sacrificing our time
To deteriorate our health
For blackened lungs
Liver dysfunctions
Damaged stomach lining nostrils eroding teeth decaying
Bones rubbing like tectonic plates
As synovial fluid dissipates
Running ourselves into the ground promoting burnout in our knees
Aching hips, sciatic pinches
Nature's dying humanity's destruction
Mirroring the turmoil in our cells
With the rain forest arsons
Reflecting the collective damage
We inflict on our lungs
Teeth, and cognition
It's been

Bloody in the Highlands
In the Highlands
We're benign to the violence
Corrupted by the silence
Bloody in the Highlands
In the Highlands
Modern day living here is cause mass dividence
Bloody in the Highlands
In the Highlands
We're benign to the violence
Corrupted by the silence
Bloody in the Highlands
In the Highlands
Modern day living here is cause mass dividence

Dear god save us
We're the wicked generation
Dear god save us
We're the wicked generation
Dear god save us
We're the wicked generation
Dear god save us
We're the wicked generation
Dear god save us
We're the wicked generation
Dear god save us
We're the wicked generation
Dear god save us
We're the wicked generation
Dear god save us
We're the wicked generation
