Fire in the Street
Fire, fire, fire in street now
People on their feet
Riots in the street
Burning up the future for their gold
Aramco, Chevron, Gazprom, Exxon
Burning up the future for their gold
Pemex, Sonotrach, Sinopec, Conoco
Proxy wars, and old world scores,
profit and power while the ice cap thaws
ain’t give a shit about our planet.
only want to say that they ran it.
All ism and schism, and nationalism,
a closed world prison, for the same rich risen
Making bombs and selling their people,
Never wonder why were so unequal…
Ain’t time to wish away the sadness and the sorrow
We’re always fighting for today and not tomorrow, so it seems
See the righteous rage of a new age,
Sing the righteous songs of a new page
Gotta end SARS shooting,
Corporate looting,
Right coup booting,
An in Santiago the ticket embargo,
Churches burning, at the cost of learning,
Marching on, like Grandma Wong
Still singing that Hong Kong Song …
Get up, Stand up for the world in which your living
Get Up, Stand up for the world in which is given to you,
True powers in the many not the few…
Fire, fire, fire in street now
People on their feet
Riots in the street
See the righteous rage of a new age
Sing the righteous songs of a new page
Gotta end bad leaders
Hateful feeders
Future stealers
Wild fires they can’t suppress
Mass movements to protest
Too many to arrest
The tide towards progress
In London, Rio, Seoul,
Tehran and Tokyo
Paris, Manila, Minsk
Lagos and Port-au-Prince
Get up, Stand up
Stand up
Fire, fire, fire in street now
People on their feet
Riots in the street

Lockdown

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

Rise up, when the world is falling over
Rise up, when the world is falling over
Rise up, when the world is falling over
Come that day all the people will say
Check out the future
Before they shoot ya
Private Corps Policing
Profits are Increasing
Their Globalising
Their Advertising
Money Making Snipers
Culture Vulture Vypers
Panama papers where’d they go?
Fast lies lasts, the truth is slow
They follow it, they hollow it, they swallow it, they wallow in it
They call for it, they all for it, they ball for it, they fall for it.
Congo wives dig slavery mines
Tomahawks stalk in the Tehran times.
They weep for it, they sleep for it, they deep for it, they creep for it,
They high for it, they sigh for it, they cry for it, they…
Rise up, when the world is falling over
Rise up, when the world is falling over
Rise up, when the world is falling over
Come that day all the people will say
Check out the future
Before it shoots ya
AI all your data
Weaponise the hater
The bombs are ready
They lock and steady
Hypo psycho big boys
Playing with their death toys
XKeyscore ay? where did they go?
State surveillance of your soul
They kill for it it, they’re ill for it, they steal for it, they pilfer it
They bad for it, they sad for it, they had for it, they mad for it, they…
Gulag Rags Clad Billboard Signs
Champagne City Milks Moscow Minds
We crave for it, we rave for it, we save for it, they slave for it,
They Follow it, they hollow it, they swallow it…
Profit making power,
Just to keep us down
Power making egos,
Just to keep us down
Egos making war,
Just to keep us down
Down and around but we get get back on the ground you got to…
Rise up, when the world is falling over
Rise up, when the world is falling over
Rise up, when the world is falling over
Come that day all the people will say.
Rise up, when the world is falling over
Rise up, when the world is falling over
Rise up, when the world is falling over
Come that day all the people will say
Rise Up, Rise up, Rise Up, Rise Up
RISE!

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
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

The Change Lyrics
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

Don’t let your apathy deny the change we want to see
Don’y deny the change, don’t deny the change

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
