Redemption

We've been locked in our cages

For far too long

Those people in power

Who think that they know what is wrong

Are hopeless

We need someone who actually knows what to do

Nearly fifty thousand fucking dead

And you say it's our fault

Fuck you

Shout this from the rooftops

You have their blood on your hands

Scream this with me

Fuck the government and fuck Boris

This is my redemption this is my life

This is my redemption this is my time

I won't fail

I won't fall

I won't give up my dream at all

Thousands homeless jobless poor

Just for doing everything you asked for

Wear a mask wash your hands make space

Not for you just for us

What a fucking disgrace

One rule for you one rule for us

You're throwing the public under the bus

Refurbish Big Ben, what about Grenfell

Sweep that under the rug as well

We're angry

We're pissed off

We're worn down

We're stressed out

We're ready to explode

This is my redemption this is my life

This is my redemption this is my time

I won't fail

I won't fall

I won't give up my dream at all

Sick of this shit it's been a real strange year

With the press side keeping us tied

Living in fear

With the wise guys locked inside to save time

On the dumbing down of our people we find

That we can't escape the darkness

That we harbour yeah we bought this

With self doubt and the malice

Have us burning down our palace

Let me find a way to say this

That we did this to ourselves

With our heads locked down

On our screens and our wealth

Is there redemption or a fucking intervention

Our lives are a product of systemic obsession

Corrupting our sense of self worth and home earth

We're one with the earth so we

Don't have to do this alone

This is my redemption this is my life

This is my redemption this is my time

I won't fail

I won't fall

I won't give up my dream at all
