The Subways - Fight lyrics
[The Subways - Fight lyrics]
Sending all my love to the Terra Firma team
Empty in the pockets
Still we're taking to the streets
Do you have the time members, are so inclined
Or does the situation never
Weight upon your mind?
Is it happiness you want, where do we begin?
Apathy and comfort, sinking lemonade and gin?
There's no mystery to where
We suddenly find ourselves
White men are getting rich off PoC in cеlls
If we want a future
Then wе must do what's right
If we want to live
Then we have to learn to fight
Are you ready, are you willing, are you sure?
Are you steady as you stamp
Your feet upon the floor?
If we want a future
We must all come together
If we want to live
We must all do much better
Are you ready, are you willing, are you sure?
Are you steady as you stamp
Your feet upon the floor?
And now we all fall down
Everybody's mesmerised by Eton-Oxford clowns
Newspapers mirror all the cheapest of desires
As parliament fron benches are
All consumed by fire
Can we stand it, will we ever be believed?
Can we lift each other up for all to see?
Hope and love are so much
More than all of combined
So kick the can and raise your hands
And use your precious minds!
If we want a future
Then we must do what's right
If we want to live
Then we have to learn to fight
Are you ready, are you willing, are you sure?
Are you steady as you stamp
Your feet upon the floor?
If we want a future
We must all come together
If we want to live
We must all do much better
Are you ready, are you willing, are you sure?
Are you steady as you stamp
Your feet upon the floor?
Your reverence for genocide, for slavers
And for power
Is prologue in the story in which
We tear down your towers
If poor hands built empires while
You cracked the whip don't cry now
When they decide the'll turn them into fists
And raise them in the air
So every nation's leader sees
The multitude will raise the heat
To a billion degrees
I guess until that crucial
Time will come around
You'll hear our voices singing
With our multiculturesound
If we want a future
Then we must do what's right
If we want to live
Then we have to learn to fight
Are you ready, are you willing, are you sure?
Are you steady as you stamp
Your feet upon the floor?
If we want a future
We must all come together
If we want to live
We must all do much better
Are you ready, are you willing, are you sure?
Are you steady as you stamp
Your feet upon the floor?
And now we all stand up
Join me and take a knee
Say each and every name
All those who could not breathe
Empty in the pockets
Still we're taking to the streets
Do you have the time members, are so inclined
Or does the situation never
Weight upon your mind?
Is it happiness you want, where do we begin?
Apathy and comfort, sinking lemonade and gin?
There's no mystery to where

White men are getting rich off PoC in cеlls
