England Uprise (feat. Benjamin Zephaniah) Song Lyrics

It's like this
If you don't get up
They will keep us down
From the moment you are born they put a number on you They will tell you what to eat
After they have modified it
They will tell you how to dress
After they have designed it
They will tell you where to live
And how to live
They will control your life
But there is an alternative
We can rise up and take control of our lives
We who live here in this England
Can use our soil to provide our food
We can make clothes from hemp
We can bypass the blood-sucking corporate machine
And live in love and unity in this time
We can do this
Unite, my people, unite
England, uprise
England, uprise
Unite tonight
England, uprise

No more to Tony Blair and neo-liberalism
No more of us slaving for global capitalism
No more denying the beauty of who you really are
No more wars for oil, fuck the mainstream media
No to Monsanto Nestle, factory farming
No more to Trident and nuclear rearming
