Enter Shikari - Gandhi Mate, Gandhi lyrics

Now I don’t know about you, but I don’t think… the primary purpose of your life, of my life, and the entirety of the human race Is just to blindly consume to support a failing economy and a faulty system For ever and ever Until we run out of every resource And have to resort to blowing each other up to ensure our own survival. I don’t think… We’re supposed to sit by idle While we continue to use a long outdated system That produces war, poverty, collusion, corruption, Ruins our environment and threatens every aspect of our health, And does nothing but divide and segregate us, I don’t think… How much military equipment we’re selling to other countries, How many hydrocarbons we’re burning, How much money is being printed and exchanged Is a good measure of how healthy our society is. But I do think… I can speak for everyone when I say… We’re sick of this sh**. Time to mobilise, time to open eyes We are not a quiet pocket of resistance This is real and we cannot afford to fail Act with, act with persistence (This is real) And we cannot afford to fail “I am the established order, respect me and fear me” f** you we hold no respect and when tomorrow comes We’re gonna stamp on your head! “See if we keep them silent; Then they’ll resort to violence; And that’s how you criminalise change.” Yabba dabba do one son, we don’t want your rules Who you fooling son? We got all the tools we need To build a whole new system To correct these flaws “Yeh like what?” I’ve already listed them “You’re a communist!” “You’re a f**ing utopianist!” There come the emotive labels But their attempt just fails ‘Cos man we’re so far out your comfort zone We stop, think, begin to revive [x3] Put the call out to the front line Get the message out to the contact squad Transmit emergency frequencies The jigsaw starts to build Piece by piece Open their minds Transmit emergency frequencies
