A new diversion demands my attention
Another narrative will go unquestioned
Who tells the story and why does it need you?
When will your radicals have something to prove to you?
Still learning, educating yourself
When will knowledge become practice?
Part-time radicals with nothing to lose
Re-educate, unlearn, rinse and reuse

Part-time radicals with nothing to lose

You resist within the system
Liberation through the state
Let things slide for the sake of peace
Hollow tears when they're on their knees
You resist within the system

Part-time radicals with nothing to lose

You resist within the system
Liberation through the state
Let things slide for the sake of peace
Hollow tears when they're on their knees
You resist within the system
Liberation through the state
Your selfish opportunism
And corrosive self-interest
As you advocate universal human rights
Within a framework created by people you claim to oppose
And it's not better than nothing, you hold us back
And make us too comfortable and complacent in fact
It's time you stopped, put the flag down
Declared your self-interest and stepped to one side of the line
Between ideological struggle
And unprincipled peace and stagnation
