Текст песни
Grey sky, CCTV blinks, hello, dear citizen
Zero hour dreams, Rent eats the oxygen
Smile is a polished guillotine
We queue like saints while they launder the obscene
Paper canes, plastic crowns, talking circles
Punch down, we bite our tongues till they bleed
Now hear this, we don't blink
Raise your voice, smash the quiet
No more sitting, stay defiant
We're the thunder under London town
Kettled hearts won't settle down
Tear the letters from their lives
Light a fuse behind our eyes
Union Jack taped over broken glass
Royal pageantry for a ticketless mass
Thames runs cold with a banker's hymn
While the food bank line sings a requiem
Paper canes, plastic crowns, feed the circus, sell us clowns
We were born for more than queues, stand your ground
Ace your shoes
Raise your voice, smash the quiet
No more sitting, stay defiant
We're the thunder under London town
Kettled hearts won't settle down
Tear the letters from their lives
Light a fuse behind our eyes
No guards, no gatekeepers, just guitars
Like true speakers from Brixton rain to Southford night
We stitch our flags from workers' rights
They privatize the air we breathe
Then tell us mind your tone and leave
But every strike is a love song
For the tired, the broke, the young
Paper canes, plastic crowns
All their castles sinking down
Hold the line, don't lose heart
Every ending needs a start
Raise your voice, smash the quiet
No more sitting, stay defiant
We're the thunder under London town
Kettled hearts won't settle down
Cut the puppet masters' strings
Hear the working choir sing
No more crumbs, take the load
No more fear, call their blood
Hands up, heads high, boots brown
Now, kettled hearts won't settle down
Now, kettled hearts won't settle down
