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
No more expanding on aviation and roads
No more to these oh death giving modes
England, uprise
England, uprise
Unite tonight
England, uprise
England, uprise
England, uprise
Unite tonight
England, uprise
It's like yes to the Beatles and to Georhe Monbiot
Yes to FDM and Gary Dunn's live shoes
Yes to WOOFing and the festibal scence
Yes to the brave youth who built all our dreams
Yes to solidarity in internationalism
Tom Pain, George Orwell, spiritual activism
Yes to Rory McCloud rambling through woods
And to all you people who from injustice make good
England, uprise
England, uprise
Be brave tonight
England, uprise
England, uprise
Everyone, uprise
Time to overcome
Everyone, uprise
We can change it for everyone
Our generation could be the sun
Love is revolution, we don't a gun
Make it happen, together as one
'Cause love is just like oxygen
Don't let our people get overun
All people, all life, under the sun
Make it happen, what do we want to become?
Beauty
Friendship
Justice
Everyon, everyone
Come on
People, uprise
Everyone, uprise
Unite tonight
Love, uprise
I'm saying no to global warming and to public ignoring
No to rainforests fucking continuously falling
No to governemnt paid scientists who keep reassuring
And stop us all from wising up
And stop our nature from calling
No to Mugabe and his palace in Arabie
No to poisoning the youth with heroin and with Charlie
No to corporations and ethical destruction
There'd be a city group Haliburt and the rest of you fuckwits
Yes to love
Yes to kindness and honesty
Yes to being selfless and complete generosity
Yes to community
To thoughful and deep music, poetry and knowledge like immoirtal technique
Yes to art, expression and dance
Yes to amazing women and irripressible romance
Last but not least yes to everything musical
Nizlopi and Jimmy Davis, the combination is beautiful
