35 billion on armed forces
2 billion on Trident
We don’t want your fucking wars
(We don’t want your fucking hate)
250 thousand people on the street tonight
Living in fear of not seeing the morning light
Why can’t we build them houses
(Why can’t we give them shelter)
A&Es are closing down
As the NHS is in crises
We need to provide care
(We need to keep it free)
Schools and libraries are closing down
Or left in poor condition
We need to teach the youth
(We need free information)
You find the money for hate and war
But where’s the money for a fair society
Where’s the money for a fair society x7

History repeats itself
First as tragedy
Second as farce
A wise man once said
Those who don’t learn from the past are doomed to repeat it
And here we are as one generation follows the next
Treading the same footsteps
Like it’s Groundhog Day
Perceval, Chamberlain
Callaghan, Thatcher
Cameron and May
A cycle of leaders who put
Their own agenda
Over the need of the country
The Peterloo Massacre
The Poll Tax Riots
The Miners Strike
Fix the NHS
And countless other protests
When will our leaders learn
They will never break us
That we will always fight
Round and round we go
In a cycle of lies and mistakes
That those in power often make
Here we go once again
As the world keeps on turning
Here we go once again
As history keeps on repeating
They are sending troops to
Afghanistan, Syria
Nigeria, Mali
Iraq and Libya
Under the illusion of humanitarianism
But we all know too well it’s all about power and greed
As we have seen so many times before
When our nations go to war
Chorus

Our beloved government does not have our best interests at heart
I repeat
Our beloved government does not have our best interests at heart
And we the people are not accountable for their actions
For too long they have been bringing this country to its knees
And playing games that favour the rich mans pocket
But it’s time to fight back
It’s time to refuse
It’s time to rise up
It’s time to resist
We don’t have to play their games
We have the right to take a stand and demand change
We have the right to protest
To Stand together and be a voice for the voiceless
Refuse
Rise Up
Resist (x3, x8)
It’s time for a revolution
Our government is elected by us
Our Government is accountable to us
Our government is supposed to represent us
To the world with our best interests
And if they don’t do this
We have the right to
Chorus (x7, x8)

Binaries are for Machines
You can’t program us to be your ideas of perfection
We are not a malfunction waiting to repaired
There is nothing wrong with us
It makes me sick
It makes me sick
That here we are in the 21st century
People are being
Persecuted and prosecuted
Beaten, bullied and fucking murdered
For their sexuality

sexuality
It makes me sick
It makes me sick
That here we are in the 21st century
And people are still being
Persecuted and prosecuted
Beaten, bullied and fucking murdered
For
who they are meant to be
Who they are meant to be
Who they are meant to be
What the fuck is wrong with the world x3
I just can’t get my head around it
And it makes me sick
So fucking sick
That here we are in the 21st century
And people are still being
Persecuted, prosecuted
Beaten, bullied and fucking murdered
For their sexuality
For Their sexuality
For Their sexuality
It makes me sick
So fucking sick
That here we are in the 21st century
And people are still being
Persecuted and prosecuted
Beaten, bullied and fucking murdered
For
who they are meant to be
Who they are meant to be
Who they are meant to be
What the fuck is wrong with the world x3
I just can’t get my head around it
