Electro-folk protest song

There's only ever been one cause worth fighting for
It's them or us
We pay their bills we wage their wars
In Lord Kitchener's army
Sat up in their gilded halls
They know they've got us by the balls
But if we spit together boys
They'd drown in the tsunami
And it's time we woke up
And said enough is enough
Born to serve, born to rule
By the time you've finished school
You know which doors open to you
And which slam in your face
The good life's not won by degrees
Even if you can afford the fees
Your free to starve, you're free to freeze
You'd better know your place
And it's time we woke up
And said enough is enough
And they're trying to breathe life into a corpse
It's as if the market eats and drinks and walks
You can smell the decay every time they say
There is no other way, but it's you that's got to pay
Every day and every day you give it all away
So if you're marching off to war
Know what it is you're fighting for
So them as have can get some more
The rest can all go hungry
From food banks to migrant camps
There's discontentment in the ranks
Time to say no more no thanks
To God and queen and country
Cos it's time we rose up, said enough is enough
