England Uprise |
| 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 lives |
| 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 ‘dis time |
| We can do dis' |
| Unite my people |
| UniteÂ… |
| England up rise |
| England up rise |
| Unite tonight |
| England up rise! |
| 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 and factory farming |
| No more to Trident and nuclear re-arming |
| No more expanding on aviation and on roads |
| No more to these old death giving modes |
| Yes to the Beatles and to George Monbiot |
| Yes to FDM and to Gary Dunne’s live Shows |
| Yes to WOOFing and the festival scene |
| And yes to the brave youth who build all our dreams! |
| Yes to solidarity and internationalism |
| Tom Paine, George Orwell, Spiritual activism |
| Yes to Rory Mcleod rambling through woods |
| And to all you people whom from injustice make good! |
| England up rise |
| Everyone up rise |
| Time to overcome |
| Everyone up rise! |
| We can change it for everyone |
| Our generation can be the sun |
| Love is revolution, you don’t need a gun |
| Make it happen together as one |
| Cos love is just like oxygen |
| Don’t let our people get overrun |
| All people, all life under the sun |
| Make it happen, |
| What do we want to become? |
| Beauty, |
| Friendship, |
| Justice, |
| Everyone, everyone com’on |
| People up rise |
| Everyone up rise |
| Unite tonight |
| Love up rise |
