Ma**ive Ego - Rise lyrics

They're turning out the lights In good old London town Destroying all our memories Look hard they're still around All grown up and gentrified But still built up on lies Our history being kicked aside Replaced by higher rise Steel and gla** predominate This urban gentrify Rip the very heart out City life about to die k**ing of our culture This government deny Those born and bred Priced out instead They struggle to survive We don't need no... Gentrification We all live here after all I've seen the writing on the wall That this city's about to fall Fall, fall, fall... Rise! Rise up for me tonight! Rise! Rise, rise up for me tonight! Rise! Rise, rise up for me tonight! Rise! Rise, rise up for me tonight! All gentrified and formalised It's heart ripped from the core Turned out the lights, but kept the sights The tourists clamour for They're building for the sake of it Fills bankers pockets more And they're k**ing London's culture Like they never have before Approved the demolition But you'll never take us down Took a feather from old mother cap But you will never steal her crown You lied to us so many times But we are organised This is our day of reckoning Together we're unified Steel and gla** predominate This urban gentrify Rip the very heart out

City life about to die k**ing of our culture This government deny Those born and bred Priced out instead They struggle to survive We don't need no... Gentrification We all live here after all I've seen the writing on the wall That this city's about to fall Fall, fall, fall... Rise! Rise up for me tonight! Rise! Rise, rise up for me tonight! Rise! Rise, rise up for me tonight! Rise! Rise, rise up for me tonight! All gentrified and formalised It's heart ripped from the core Turned out the lights, but kept the sights The tourists clamour for They're building for the sake of it Fills bankers pockets more And they're k**ing London's culture Like they never have before We don't need no... Gentrification 'Cause we are people... Not experimentation Rise! Rise up for me tonight! Rise! Rise, rise up for me tonight! Rise! Rise, rise up for me tonight! Rise! Rise, rise up for me tonight! Rise! Watch everybody rise! They tell us f**ing lies! Watch everybody rise! Rise! (We don't need no) Watch everybody rise! (We don't need no) They tell us f**ing lies! (We don't need no) Watch everybody rise! (We don't need no) We don't need no (Rise!) We don't need no (Watch everybody rise!) We don't need no We don't need no Gentrification...
