It was never, never, ever, never theirs to take,
and never theirs to sell
Did you notice when they stole your life?
And that the price never reveals the cost?
Trapped in labour, trained to stay in line
What are they doing with what's yours and mine?
It was never ever, never, never theirs to take
It was never ever, never, never theirs to take,
and never theirs to sell
Four hundred years and we're still going strong
One way bridges and apartheid walls
Same old bullsh** with a different name
Can't call it playing 'cause it's a fixed game
Can you hear that old song stuck on repeat?
Familiar problems never cease to exist
Self-righteous men with a broken will
Strong-minded women always pay those bills
It was never ever, never, never theirs to take
It was never, never, never, never theirs to take,
and never theirs to sell
It was never ever, never, never theirs to take
It was never, never, never, never theirs to take,
and never theirs to sell
