Poverty trap

|

|
Hard work never set you free
You only make money for someone else
The poverty trap – The poverty trap
They steal your health and they steal your time
Keeping you tethered and at their control
The poverty trap - the poverty trap
Your sweat buys you their contempt
Hard work will never set you free

Life in the shadow
01:16
|
|||
|
Eighty years on and what have we learned
Still we cower in the nuclear shadow
Life in the shadow – life in the shadow
Millions slaughtered to maintain the stalemate
And still we cower in the nuclear shadow
Life in the shadow – life in the shadow
Billions spent on treacherous war games
And still we cower in the nuclear shadow
Life in the shadow – life in the shadow

Meat line
01:44
|
|||
|
Choking to death on poisonous gas
A bolt to the head or a knife to the throat
This is the meat line
This is the torture you choose to inflict
Crammed into cages, sleeping on concrete
Savagely beaten and kept from the sunlight
This is the meat line
This is the torture you choose to inflict
Skinned alive or scalded to death
Reared in pain and slaughtered in terror

Brutal assassins
01:23
|
|||
|
Again and again the night stick falls
Shattered limbs and fatal chokeholds
Brutal assassins for the state
Racist thugs administering hate
Bullies and cowards armoured with badges
Innocent deaths and no one found guilty
Brutal assassins for the state
Racist thugs administering hate
How many people have to be butchered
Before we take action against these bastards

Smiling to our deaths
01:55
|
|||
|
We believe that we are righteous
We believe that we are loved
We believe that we are chosen
And we are all led smiling – smiling to our deaths
We believe that we are pious
We believe that we are saved
We believe that we are holy
And we are all led smiling – smiling to our deaths
We believe that we are special
We believe that we are charmed
We believe that we are sinless

This is war
01:18
|
|||
|
Blown to bits by a drone strike
Rubble graves for the unknown poor
This is war – This is war
Landmines litter wheat fields
No escape but to die or starve
This is war – This is war
Killed at the whim of tyrants
Whose bloody hands decide your fate
And you’re in it, until they say so
This is war
This is war
This is war
This is war
