We depend on the government and Tesco to feed us
When the real secret is they need us
Without us, they don't exist
There's something in the water that's affecting the small fish
The loan sharks, they work for the bank
Provide humans with a shelter for a couple of hundred grand
While the Queen sleeps comfortably
Riding horses in the field, then they teach us
Nothing don't come for free
Slave ships paid for all the luxury
Hope you have your table manners, use the right cutlery
Let me ask, "Do you know your own ancestry?"
I know mine died in the Victorian factories
Bloodlines, they're all connected
From prime ministers to president selected
Sounds easy when I say it
Maybe I'm the problem
I just say it
Know you, know you
Will I know, know?
Let me know you, know you
Will I know, know?
Let me know you, know you
Will I know, know?
Let me know you, know you
Will I know, know?
Let me
♪
National pride and hiding behind the curtains
Tryna see who's on the dole and who's working
All the time we are inside, trapped in our minds
We'll never travel to Iraq
And every day it's in our faces, like we know all the facts
Like we really care, 'cause if we did we'd be over there
In a way we're all cowards, just surviving
They say ignorance is bliss
If I open my eyes and I close them again
I might forget all the sadness
Build a wall around my heart and block out all the madness
Sounds easy when I say it
Maybe I'm the problem
I just say it
Know you, know you
Will I know, know?
Let me know you, know you
Will I know, know?
Let me know you, know you
Will I know, know?
Let me know you, know you
Will I know, know?
Let me
Bloodlines, they're all connected
(Know you, know you)
Maybe I'm the problem
