Open up the way now
aren't we modified enough
haven't we swallowed all that we can stomach.
Why does no man stand up
why must we take it on the chin
i want to know what happened at the beginning.

Not a single moment to lose
time is running out
before all things pass away
another day comes more doubt
Piles and piles of it i carry on my back
your face my crack.

Bury our heads in the sand
and wait, while i wash my hands
why do i feel guilt what have i done
being illiminated one by one.
Everytime i look around we seem fewer
where has the white man gone
no one speaks english anymore
as i see foriegn signs on every door.

We who can help, be healed then go on your way
but you all get hit by greed, and you all stay.
Leaving behind you, a country that is up in arms
resulting into a backlash that will eventually bring you to harm.
Keep on coming until the river runs dry
all peoples are growing tired of asking why
no one listens to the people a world to there own
we are just a vote but what we are is unknown.

What happens to us well we sign up for housing
we go into town but we are only browsing
there is no money left in the tin
the government guilty of the wasting.
The needs of others they say come first
never looking in there own backyard as we are dying of thirst.
Are we spoilt for choice being born in the free world
being born british and white is bad all you boys and girls
at the back of the queue we are sent
doing jobs that we can only scrape up enough for rent
we who live here we can never leave
it's a prison now who will you believe.

Wages to low the rent and bills so high
the only escape route i see is to die
then you leave behind all the debt to your family
you can't avoid the debt to society.
Trapped and stuffed like a pig
lets face it everything is rigged
nothing is free nothing is real
turn on the tv but it no longer heals
no longer it helps, to make the pain dissappear
tread carefully for it's me you should really fear.
