We Won’t Take It

If you find yourself feeling out of luck, depressed and beaten down
With the fact that you’ve been priced out of the so called ‘shitty part of town’
That’s being redeveloped into a playground for the rich
As your kids rely on food banks ‘cos they cut your benefits
Remember you are not alone and it’s okay to be afraid
When you have a family to support and now you’re living day to day
You have never asked for much but now it’s really getting rough
Cathy’s never coming home, tough love, tough luck.

No more – we won’t take it, their power lies in our division
No more – we won’t take it, we’re not asking for permission
No more – we won’t take it, they sell us ‘freedom’ but it’s just a crutch
No more – we won’t take it, do you really think they give a fuck?

Giving a voice to those in power to act on our behalf
Is like offering a candle to a blind man in the dark
A temporary guilt release for a problem that remains
You flip the fucking record but the song is still the same
You have a voice and a choice and there are others just like you
With nothing else to give and hence nothing left to prove
Shake off the shackles of self-doubt, set aside your foolish pride
Rediscover the spring in your step and the sparkle in your eyes

A lifetime sat on the fence
Between paranoia and common sense
Has given me the basic tools
To not be taken for a fool
I see you for what you are
The death wish of a dying star
That will never swallow me
Your extinction tastes so sweet

Attacks on public services are attacks against us all
It’s just that some are more prepared to cushion and displace the fall
The sickest and the vulnerable receive the toughest punch
Those without a credit card are hit hardest by its crunch
Communities get torn apart and cleared to make way
For the upper middle classes and their weekend holidays
Packaged and predictable, clean, secure, safe and sound
But life is always more exciting in the ‘shitty part of town’
