Lyrics These Are the Things - The Trials of Cato

These Are the Things

They say there’s a mother who cares for us all
Shows us the way when we stumble and fall
Trained and educated to the highest degree
Whoever she is she’s not working for me
We’ve been we’ve been wrong counted the years
And now we’ve been told to dry our tears
To show aspiration and swallow our pride
Oh these are the things that we cannot abide
When the walls all go up and troubles in store
And reason and justice is all we ask for
When you’re kicking a man for being down on the floor
Oh these are the things that I cannot ignore
Oh these are the things that I cannot ignore
They say there’s a nation of more than one tongue
Where children of old foes can sit down as one
Don’t give a damn about where they come from
And this is called marching to the beat of one drum
But while we’ve all been dreaming of day long ago
We’ve burnt every bridge and we’ve shut every door
But no man Island so far from the shore
And these are the things that I cannot ignore
When the walls all go up and troubles in store
And reason and justice is all we ask for
When you’re kicking a man for being down on the floor
Oh these are the things that I cannot ignore
Oh these are the things that I cannot ignore
And you say we’re to blame but we’ve heard it before
They’ve won it this time, but who’s keeping score
And the little eats less so the richer eats more
These are the things that I cannot ignore
When you live by the day at the markets command
Where profit and properties the law of the land
To be held, to be heard, to be dealt a fair hand
These are things that our people demand
When the walls all go up and troubles in store
And reason and justice is all we ask for
When you’re kicking a man for being down on the floor
Oh these are the things that I cannot ignore
Oh these are the things that I cannot ignore
Ah Ah Ah
These are the things that I cannot ignore
