They say we live like this
and so we die like this
nothing will change
but for the same
if we don't resistthe greed from the start
the hate in our hearts
the trust torn apart
in this life
we teach them to rememberWe are the fire in the eyes of the young population
once fallen asleep soon to rise to the occasion
you won't find my name for the future roll call
for a leader, a bleeder, a tax
and we fallattacks the people
soon to rise against
injustice
won't sustain"Black for the night
Green for the light
Red for the blood in our arms"
We helped build a nation
and this is the thanks we get
a halflife of broken promises
No , we're not finished yetThey say we live like this
and so we'll die like this
nothing will change
but for the same
if we don't resist
attacks
(and we fall)
a tax, and we fall
attacks the people
a tax, and we fallAgreed from the start
No hate in our hearts
No trusts torn apart
In this life
a tax,
and we fall
