The King Blues - We Are What We Own lyrics
[The King Blues - We Are What We Own lyrics]
Just give it guns and drugs
And the world is yours
The food we shove right through young jaws
Saying they don't care about
Politics when it's
Politics that don't care about the kids
Of course they expect you to stay down
That's why they got you gagged up and bound
Why can't they afford to keep the youth clubs
But they can afford to lock the youth up?
It's bullshit what did you create?
Now that we won't wait
With our noses pressed up against the glass
You made clear what we need
Kept it out of reach
You reap what you sow (now we're in control)
Now we'll take what we want
And we'll tear the world apart
Cos we are what we own
Yeah, we are what we own
We are, we are, we are, we are, we are
We are, we are, we are, we are what we own
What we own
They say I'm just an angry man
Yes I am, I'm angry cos I made the connection
The children of the damned ain't
The children of the man
We're born into rejection
And with every demand, we obey their command
We're apart of the disaffection
We understand we've got to take it back
If you ain't angry
You ain't paying attention
Before you digress i think you best address
In case, of this ever happening again
You made clear what we need
Kept it out of reach
You reap what you sow (now we're in control)
Now we'll take what we want
And we'll tear the world apart
Cos we are what we own
Yeah, we are what we own
Well poverty climbs up
And that means the crimes up
Learn from the past, we're best to combine up
Young people, wise up poor people, rise up
Ruling class, move over, your time's up
Yeah, could this be our calling?
Our own eyes watching empires falling?
I'd rather die on my feet than crawling
I live by the river while London is brawling
You can't blame the youth
When you ain't got no proof
That we didn't learn everything from you
You made clear what we need
Kept it out of reach
You reap what you sow (now we're in control)
Now we'll take what we want
And we'll tear the world apart
Cos we are what we own
Yeah, we are what we own
We are, we are, we are, we are
We are, we are, we are, we are what we own
What we own we are, we are, we are, we are
We are, we are, we are, we are what we own
We are what we own
And the world is yours
The food we shove right through young jaws
Saying they don't care about
Politics when it's
Politics that don't care about the kids
Of course they expect you to stay down
That's why they got you gagged up and bound
Why can't they afford to keep the youth clubs
But they can afford to lock the youth up?
It's bullshit what did you create?
Now that we won't wait
With our noses pressed up against the glass
You made clear what we need
Kept it out of reach
You reap what you sow (now we're in control)
Now we'll take what we want
And we'll tear the world apart
Cos we are what we own
Yeah, we are what we own
We are, we are, we are, we are, we are
We are, we are, we are, we are what we own
What we own
They say I'm just an angry man
Yes I am, I'm angry cos I made the connection
The children of the damned ain't
The children of the man
We're born into rejection

We are, we are, we are, we are what we own
What we own we are, we are, we are, we are
We are, we are, we are, we are what we own
We are what we own
