Title: Step Up
Lyrics Step UpIf our own lives aren't directly affected,
Then it don't need to be corrected!
How fucking cute is our ignorance,
As they're praying for deliverance.
We shutter ourselves from the outcries,
We blinker ourselves from the eyesores,
Cause I know we have greatness within us!
(We have greatness within us; innovative, giving, determined -
it's time for the best in us to come out)
(Search) And you can find inbalance
(Seek) You can destroy inbalance
And you can change your values
(Step up today) Step up today
Yes, solid
Now let me get one thing straight
You know what?
Sometimes I do wish apples were our currency
So your hoarded millions rot in their vaults
And that'd teach you to lay off the assault
That you're barraging on the lands of the poor
And I know we've all got enough problems of our own
But-but they're not showstoppers sitting on our throne in a home
Heated by a life unknown to the exploited
And it's so frustrating - the fucking state we're in!
If our own lives aren't directly affected,
Then it don't need to be corrected!
How fucking cute is our ignorance,
As they're praying for deliverance.
We shutter ourselves from the outcries,
We blinker ourselves from the eyesores
(Search) And you can find inbalance
(Seek) You can destroy inbalance
And you can change your values
(Step up today) Step up today
(Search) And you can find inbalance
(Seek) You can destroy inbalance
And you can change your values
(Step up today) Step up today
Why is it so many companies
Built to serve us
End up ruling us?
Our British Empire
Build free trade...
Opportunistic oppression? |
