lyrics

Gone are the times
Where we could kick back at their lies
Democracy’s a reflection
In museums of the wise
And the far right circles in
With dark clouds for wings
Talons too hungry
And a dead eye on the win

But my belly’s still filled
Will hope that we’ll build
A fertile resistance shaped
Great big bloody shield
Cuz burrowing heads
In perceived safety nets
Just encourages fate
To wreak chaos and kiss death

And while we hastily buy what we see
As AI learns to count fingers properly
The arts that give heart to our communities
Will be memories
Smothered by permitted generic shit
It’s not our revolution
If we don’t create it
Imagine a world with no tunes around the firepit
It’s not my revolution
If I can’t dance to it

But for now here we are
Sharing music with the stars
Flames multiplied in
Our eyes as we grasp
At this peace, can you taste it?
Yeh we might be wasted
As the handcart heads south
With no brakes to escape it

Without putting the tele on
Is an act of rebellion
When the storms roll in
Well, we’ll just put our wellies on
While our fates may be sealed
In a world no longer real
I’m happy to pay the piper
To be this wet in a field

It’s not our revolution
If we don’t create it
It’s not my revolution
If I can’t dance to it

And while we hastily buy what we see
As AI learns to count fingers properly
The arts that give heart to our communities
Will be memories
Smothered by permitted generic shit
It’s not our revolution
If we don’t create it
Imagine a world with no tunes around the firepit
It’s not my revolution
If I can’t dance to it
