It's all too clever, you see We want our voices back; we've stopped believing that As 'customers' we all should bow down and rejoice See how the pigs all fly; the hungry hardly cry They hardly say a word; they've all but lost their voice We feel the great divide; we're urged to doubt ourselves To idolise the famous, our dreams on bitter shelves So we sit and watch TV, it prepares us - you and me Cry havoc!

I want my country back We've stopped believing
