lyrics

now They place upon us target
We exaggerate our largess
Pump a chest no progress
Jump up confess and start it
Where's that fire
To burn Babylon desire
To free up ourselves inspire
So pick up your head get higher
-breathe-
This ain't romantic
Get up stands up demand it
May lose a life get stranded
One black fist get branded
They want your spirit
To crush it enough to steal it
To repackage it the sellit
Back to the I for profit

hey now (all right)
The People dancing stay in the light fantastic
Not a care in the world (all right)
We gonna chance it
free up our minds
Get frantic

So where you at king
Queen Don ya crown No slacking
We sing enough
Start acting
Bruk up this stuff
Stop asking
And take our justice
Our Freedom
Our kingdoms
Our lands and our people
Our futures we need to
Stop this hapless slackness
now Children
Bewildered wilderness
Is building
Free up ya mind
Be realist
Explode in visions
Manifest no prisons
Stop dying
get busy living
