They wanna get my arse in gear and make a contribution   If i don't then i'm gonna feel the wrath of retribution   Don't wanna ask for 'more'   A distraction to the door of freedom, liberty, rejection of their law   You revel in self-glory thinking the battle has been won   A product of your history but we can steal it from your sons   Masked up and hooded we raise a clenched fist   State politics of hypocrites respond like terrorists   With a shot to the top this method will rock   Sowing the seeds of discontent the structure will rot   Light the fuse, stop the abuse   'round their neck they wear a tie but soon they'll wear a noose   Yes we have hunger   No place to shelter   Keeping us in purdah   Time to say 'basta'  Increase the pressure   Reject the power   You sit on top of a mountain built on misery and suffering   Your lofty throne will fall and heads will come down rolling   Work the slave-driver, evict the landowner   The army's coming to town to restore the bossman's order   True colours now you show   Your might want to stop the flow   The battle may be lost today   But the war we'll win tomorrow   Cos we are many and we are one   They stare into our eyes down the barrel of a gun   Yes we have hunger   No place to shelter   Living in purdah   Witness to the murder
