The State We're In |
| Ok, lets set this straight |
| We have a joke of a welfare system |
| That we just won’t tolerate |
| And one day you’ll have to listen |
| 'cos, what’s more there’s major flaws |
| With our views on immigration |
| We always attack the symptom not the cause |
| And don’t address this: global deprivation |
| Seems like we avoid the truth |
| We need a deeper understanding |
| Education of the youth |
| Inequity disbanded |
| The interests of the rich prevail |
| And they’re far from humanist |
| The hegemonic base will fail |
| And social justice will persist |
| A cultural upheaval and an overhaul of the state |
| Our institutions are breaking down |
| We want change before its too late |
| We shut ourselves away |
| Won’t accept our responsibilities |
| But through our unfair trade |
| We have a role in creating poverty |
| This is kept out of sight |
| Mayb we’re too inward looking |
| A narrow view of human rights |
| Makes it hard for some to find a footing |
| Seems like we avoid the truth |
| We need a deeper understanding |
| Education of the youth |
| Inequity disbanded |
| The interests of the rich prevail |
| And they’re far from humanist |
| The hegemonic base will fail |
| And social justice will persist |
| Lets set this straight |
| Like this… |
