Verse 1

Government decides moving anti-clockwise
not funny besides masses gonna get wise
soon might break ties starting to organise
don't care who dies country divides
getting sick of lies not scared of reprise
you only get one life but it ends by knife
don't roll my dice wait for grim scythe
apathy is rife haven't got my slice

Chorus

we'll see if they'll play this do we not fit
we'll see if they'll play this there's something about it
we'll see if they'll play this we're making it stick
we'll see if they'll play this ugh! well I doubt it 
we'll see if they'll play this do we not fit 
we'll see if they'll play this there's something about it 
we'll see if they'll play this we don't give a shit 

Verse 2

Those who go without and even the devout
are starting to shout about heredity handout
they draw the line we redefine
they bring decline we bring the crime
work as a team soon people scream
the system's not clean
democracy supreme
ban it off the screen avoid the obscene
not the A-Team propaganda machine 

repeat chorus 

Verse 3

Downtrodden backlash where is my cash
immigrants here fast Italian moustache
curry to ghoulash ethnic mishmash
gates must close now time to say ciao
blacks talk loud front the crowd 
strong white sound drags them down
they've led the pack we're fighting back
we move forward they move back
equality preached has been breached
must be bleached my double speech
it's not right black v. white must see the light
escape the night aim...... fire
we've reached the time to shout our rhyme
avoid pantomime use our mind truth
in advance take your chance
we need a stance not just a dance 

repeat chorus
