[VERSE 1] "As the sun begins to set on this town A young man looks up at the mighty castle walls Turning ‘round, he sees a world pacified; Comatose and unaware of it all..." Don’t you people see? This is not what we envisioned for our land The promises they made They took no time to break and say it was part of the plan [VERSE 2] Your picture on the telescreen tells a lie How you hypnotised us all seems bizarre: Looking ‘round I see a homeland defiled You say we feast when I see our people starve If you want me to beg I may bow my head when I am forced to sing along But you don’t listen, though: I pretend to know the words but I sing a different song [CHORUS] So join me in my chorus: They will not ignore us anymore (If he was fighting for us, he’d give back what he stole) So be careful what you wish for: Your harmony has d̸̀͠i̵͞s̵̢̧̀ć͟o̷͜r͞ḑ̶̛͡, I’m not afraid To show that this war is one worth fighting for [VERSE 3] Where’s this prosperous nation you had described? When I see our people live in poverty? I don’t want the world, just what was prescribed: You promised us gold just to throw it away We hear it every time: “We must fall in line or be branded a traitor" But you own the media; You are no leader, just a ruthless dictator [VERSE 4] So like a virus I will spread through this town Both my message and a call to arms With your help we will soon take back the crown Return it to the ones who are most deserved Soon we will resist I promise you this; your days are counting down Starting whisper quiet Assembling our choir, and soon we shout out loud {rpt CHORUS} [VERSE 5] And so my voice has grown; We pretend to know the words but we sing a different song And when the time is right We’ll begin our strike to finally right your wrongs {rpt CHORUS}
