[Verse 1]
Early every year the seeds are growing
Unseen, unheard, they lie beneath the ground
Would you know before the leaves are showing
That with weeds all your garden will abound
If you close your eyes, stop your ears
Shut your mouth, then how can you know?
For seeds you cannot hear may not be there
Seeds you cannot see may never grow
[Verse 2]
In January you've still got the choice
You can cut the weeds before they start to bud
If you leave them to grow high they'll silence your voice
And in December you may pay with your blood
Every day another vulture takes flight
There's another danger born every morning
In the darkness of your blindness
The beast will learn to bite
How can you fight if you can't recognise a warning
[Chorus]
So close your eyes, stop your ears
Shut your mouth and take it slow
Let others take the lead, and you'll bring up the rear
Later, you can say you didn't know
[Verse 3]
Today you may earn a living wage
Tomorrow you may be on the dole
Though there's millions going hungry
You needn't disengage
For it's them not you who's fallen in the hole
It's alright for you if you run with the pack
It's OK if you agree with all they do
If fascism is slowly climbing back
It's not here yet so what's it got to do with you
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
The EDL are standing up for England
But not an England that I want to see
As an atheist I'd stand side by side with Sikhs and m**ms
To deny the racists any victory
Neo-nazi Nick Griffin takes a front seat
And a thousand ugly boot-boys raise their hands
Well I'd shoot those ba*tards dead
Before their hatefulness is spread
Nazi scumbags must never take command
The BNP will never get to rule my land
[Chorus]
So close your eyes, stop your ears
Shut your mouth and never dare
And if it happens here they'll never come for you
Because they'll know you really didn't care
