Sending all my love to the Terra Firma team
Empty in the pockets, still we're taking to the streets
Do you have the time members, are so inclined
Or does the situation never weight upon your mind?
Is it happiness you want, where do we begin?
Apathy and comfort, sinking lemonade and gin?
There's no mystery to where we suddenly find ourselves
White men are getting rich off PoC in cеlls
[Chorus]
If we want a future, then wе must do what's right
If we want to live, then we have to learn to fight
Are you ready, are you willing, are you sure?
Are you steady as you stamp your feet upon the floor?
If we want a future, we must all come together
If we want to live, we must all do much better
Are you ready, are you willing, are you sure?
Are you steady as you stamp your feet upon the floor?
[Verse 2]
And now we all fall down
Everybody's mesmerised by Eton-Oxford clowns
Newspapers mirror all the cheapest of desires
As parliament fron benches are all consumed by fire
Can we stand it, will we ever be believed?
Can we lift each other up for all to see?
Hope and love are so much more than all of combined
So kick the can and raise your hands, and use your precious minds!
[Chorus]
If we want a future, then we must do what's right
If we want to live, then we have to learn to fight
Are you ready, are you willing, are you sure?
Are you steady as you stamp your feet upon the floor?
If we want a future, we must all come together
If we want to live, we must all do much better
Are you ready, are you willing, are you sure?
Are you steady as you stamp your feet upon the floor?
[Verse 3]
Your reverence for genocide, for slavers, and for power
Is prologue in the story in which we tear down your towers
If poor hands built empires while you cracked the whip
Don't cry now, when they decide the'll turn them into fists
And raise them in the air, so every nation's leader sees
The multitude will raise the heat to a billion degrees
I guess until that crucial time will come around
You'll hear our voices singing, with our multiculturesound
[Chorus]
If we want a future, then we must do what's right
If we want to live, then we have to learn to fight
Are you ready, are you willing, are you sure?
Are you steady as you stamp your feet upon the floor?
If we want a future, we must all come together
If we want to live, we must all do much better
Are you ready, are you willing, are you sure?
Are you steady as you stamp your feet upon the floor?
[Outro]
And now we all stand up, join me and take a knee
Say each and every name, all those who could not breathe
