Nizlopi - England UpRise lyrics

It's like this, If you don't get up, they' will keep us down From the moment you are born, they put a number on you They will tell you what to eat after they have modified it They will tell you how to dress after they have designed it They will tell you where to live, and how to live They will control your lives But there is an alternative We can rise up and take control of our lives We who live here in this England Can use our soil to provide our food We can make clothes from Hemp We can bypa** the blood-s**ing corporate machine And live in love and unity in ‘dis time We can do dis' Unite my people Unite… England up rise England up rise Unite tonight England up rise! No more to Tony Blair and Neo-liberalism No more of us slaving for global capitalism No more denying the beauty of who you really are No more wars for oil f** the mainstream media No to Monsanto Nestle and factory farming No more to Trident and nuclear re-arming No more expanding on aviation and on roads No more to these old d**h giving modes Yes to the Beatles and to George Monbiot Yes to FDM and to Gary Dunne's live Shows Yes to WOOFing and the festival scene And yes to the brave youth who build all our dreams! Yes to solidarity and internationalism Tom Paine, George Orwell, Spiritual activism Yes to Rory Mcleod rambling through woods And to all you people whom from injustice make good! England up rise Everyone up rise Time to overcome Everyone up rise! We can change it for everyone Our generation can be the sun Love is revolution, you don't need a gun Make it happen together as one Cos love is just like oxygen Don't let our people get overrun All people, all life under the sun Make it happen, What do we want to become? Beauty, Friendship, Justice, Everyone, everyone com'on People up rise Everyone up rise Unite tonight Love up rise
