Lowkey, Greg Blackman - The Death Of Neoliberalism lyrics
[Lowkey, Greg Blackman - The Death Of Neoliberalism lyrics]
Anytime you beg another man to set you free
You'll never be free
Freedom is something that you have
To do for yourself this is why I say this is
The ballot or the bullet
It's liberty or death
It's freedom for everybody or
Freedom for nobody
Freedom your public service die a death
The World Bank and IMF isn't freedom
The kleptocracy orchestrate
And subjugate the corporate state that isn't
Freedom theresa's a terrorist
We could be standing at the precipice of
Freedom
Pontificate, philosophise, cross the T's
Dot the I's i heard 'em say the
Revolution won't be monetised
But it could be wrapped up
Packaged and commodified
In this poisonous equation
I wonder what am I? Tax dodging tabloids
Profit from these horrid lies
Peddle patriotism but economically colonise
Sycophants, grippin' flags
Tell you that they're on your side
Sell off your services abroad
Who do they prioritise?
Robin Hood in reverse
These robberies aren't secrets
Bonuses for bankers and backhanders
For arms dealers
Can't cage the alternative that now exists
With the skill of an alchemist
Turn pain into empowerment
Inspired to be alive, in this powerful moment
No more will these cowards sell
Us out to their donors
We rose, like a giant awoken out of his coma
Confront the culture of power with
The power of culture! We sing!
Freedom your public service die a death
The World Bank and IMF isn't freedom
The kleptocracy orchestrate
And subjugate the corporate state that isn't
Freedom theresa's a terrorist
We could be standing at the precipice of
Freedom
History favours the trail blazers
The taste for change is contagious
It's not strange these faceless takers
Are afraid of raising wages
When the same mangy papers say that
We should hate our neighbours
Then when the rage cascades
These sadists claim that they're blameless
What is clear, some don't even pay taxes
On their profit's here
Vote against the interests of
Murdoch and Rothermere
Not conspiracy theory, conspiracy actuality
Until now politics, merely a practicality
They deify celebrity
What happens when those celebrities turn on
You saying plunder's not necessity?
I don't condemn the deified but mourn those
Whose brilliant as them who died
Potential unrealised atomisation had us
Distant and deafened
Now we're interconnected
Independent but interdependent
We rose, like a giant awoken out of a coma
Confront the culture of power with
The power of culture we sing
Freedom your public service die a death
The World Bank and IMF isn't freedom
The kleptocracy orchestrate
And subjugate the corporate state that isn't
Freedom theresa's a terrorist
We could be standing at the precipice of
Freedom we sing, freedom
Your public service die a death
The World Bank and IMF isn't freedom
The kleptocracy orchestrate
And subjugate the corporate state that isn't
Freedom theresa's a terrorist
We could be standing at the precipice of
Freedom
You'll never be free
Freedom is something that you have
To do for yourself this is why I say this is
The ballot or the bullet

It's freedom for everybody or
Freedom for nobody
Freedom your public service die a death
