Lockdown Lockdowns running your city And their spies they fly in the night Lockdowns running your city And their spies they fly in the night Do you still believe in your freedom? Do you still believe that you’re free? British Press and American spies Funding hedge bets with their barefaced lies Panama papers don’t forget who they are Bombing our mothers in a 108 car Lockdowns running your city And their spies they fly in the night Lockdowns running your city And their spies they fly in the night Media moguls and the Alt Right ring Funnel through the money and you find everything A.I.Q and the S.C.L The inter spell that sells you well the stories that they wanted you to hear To bend your ear Make you fear Keep you near They’re controlling you In more ways than you knew They’re controlling you In more ways than you knew They’re controlling you In more ways than you knew They’re controlling you In more ways than you knew Lockdowns running your city And their spies they fly in the night Lockdowns running your city And their spies they fly in the night Lockdowns coming Lockdowns coming Lockdowns coming

My name is Baraa. I come from Daraa. In the Yarmuk Valley of the Jordan River. And I travelled over mountains to the sea. In a crowded ship of 58 souls. Now I’m stranded in Moria, Island Refugee Camp. Caged up like a bird with no wings. No chance to break free. Despair for me. Her name is Songo. Born in the Congo. Digging those slavery mines. For cobalt profit lines, And she’s just a story. She’s just a story away. His name is Saleme. He had a family. Bombs murdered all he had. His life is now jihad. He keeps his head in hell. Part of a sleeper cell. He waits for god to tell. To kill the infidel. And he’s just a story. He’s just a story away. Her name is Madeline. She was a Haiti Queen. Smile like a sunset kiss. Eyes like the ocean green But now she’s bluish grey. Drank from the water way. The UN came to stay. But won’t pay for their foul play. And she’s just a story. She’s just a story away. One chance, to re-write this story. We’re just a story. We’re just a story away.

THE CHANGE 07:33
The Change Don’t let your apathy deny the change we want to see Don’y deny the change, don’t deny the change All of your money it can’t repay, when the ice caps melting your lives away You can bury your head in a lazy day but we’ll soon be digging you up that way When the heats running high on a fiery sky and there ain’t going back on tomorrow Can’t call on your love cos it won’t be enough When the signs face the brink of destruction Get involved Get involved Get involved Get involved Don’t let your apathy deny the change we want to see Don’y deny the change, don’t deny the change For Luther King did the civil rights spring from an overnight thing like the weather came in? He’d say no to get it solved, you’ve got to get involved Ask Malala with her head bearing scar does educating the poor really matter at all? She say yes to get it solved, you’ve got to get involved Well I say Get involved Get involved Get involved Get involved Don’t be a slave to the daily grind or the poisoned dream of a sleeping mind Just find the need and let the good deeds breed Theres an army to feed were fighting evil and greed With the heats running high on a fiery sky and there ain’t going back on tomorrow Can’t call on your love cos it won’t be enough When the signs face the brink of destruction Don’t let your apathy deny the change we want to see Don’y deny the change, don’t deny the change Whatcha do now when were calling for justice Whatcha do now when were calling for justice Whatcha do now when were calling for justice Ain’t no turning your back on this people Don’t let your apathy deny the change we want to see Don’y deny the change, don’t deny the change
