[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
ACan't believe what I'm reading when I open up these sheets
They've got Dbmpolice getting busier, cleaning up the streets
'Cos F#mthat's what we need now to make the place neat
Take the Dhomeless man's rags, no sleeping bags no place to sleep
Because we're Afar too civilised around here to see
An Dbmunkempt human being, a broken human being
OpF#men up your eyes, are you seeing what I'm seeing, yeah
A Dmisplaced, made to feel disgraced human being
Why it's Anot enough to just pretend that you don't see him
You Dbmcan't stand the sight so you've got to disappear him
Well I F#mhope you feel more comfortable doing your sight seeing
Taking Epictures, buying fucking Union Jack magnets and key rings
[Chorus]
ALife give me something to believe in
DbmNo lies, just something to believe in
F#mAm I the only one that's grieving
These Ethings that belong to you and me that they are thievinAg
[Verse 2]
And how long until they build a wall and call it a private city
They got Dbmwalls made out of laws to exclude you and me
And now they F#mtake away our right, to fight those laws for free
No legal Daid, no more justice, only for the wealthy
Oh, but they're Atrying to build a more healthy society
So that Dbmeverybody knows you don't get nothing for free
No F#mscroungers, no living room loungers living off Dme
Can I Asuggest you're seeing exactly what they want you to see
A Dbmmonster, a cancer, a threat to your liberty
How about a F#mscapegoat for their crimes, a victim of the times
DEverything that your not meant to be
How about a Abadly prepared, scared human being
How about a Dbmnecessary cog in their economic machine
'Cos if there was F#mno unemployment tell me how would things be
Do you still Dfeel lucky to be working 40 hours a week
We're like a Acaged bird and they got us by the beak
Give us eDbmnough to eat, enough to sleep, enough to tweet
But there's F#mnot enough space between the ground and our feet
We're singing Esongs of freedom but we're not flying free
[Chorus]
So, Alife give me something to believe in
DbmNo lies, just something to believe in
F#mAm I the only one that's grieving
These Ethings that belong to you and me that they are thievingA
[Verse 3]
And this whole world's got me hurting, got me feeling undeserving
Got me Dbmquestioning my worth in this sad system that we're serving
Find no F#mplace in this twisted race for property
Is making Dprofit the sole aim of humanity
Protect the Abanks, bring out the tanks if they disagree
While we're Dbmat it let's invest some more in military
All our F#mfriends have shares so why shouldn't weD
And now the Amarkets are demanding that we give away for free
Everything our gDbmrandparents fought for to some company
It's called F#mwealth creation, yeah, it's more efficient you Dsee
Well sorry, I forAgot the free market would set us free
I forDbmgot to only think about I, mine, and me
While F#mbrothers and sisters have nothing to eat
DBrothers and sisters, at home and overseas
So I Acan't lie down and I wont let it Dbmbe
While we are F#mworking for a market that doesn't work for Dwe
[Outro]
AThese things that they're thieving, they're yours and F#mmine
You know that they're still stealing, but there's still Etime
If you feel this way Dtoo
AThese things that they're thieving, they're yours and F#mmine
You know that they're still stealing, but there's still Etime
If you feel this way DtooA
