No One But Ourselves
04:15
|
|||
You can’t stop the world spinning round
That oil that is a-burnin’ shoulda left it in the ground
From Rojava to Lancashire and soon the whole world round
You can’t keep the good people down
You can’t keep the people from their rights
To speak their native language, to daily fight the fight
To have bodily autonomy - we need to see the light
You can’t keep the people from their rights
The roofs are bein’ tumbled, people sleepin’ in the streets
The 1% get richer we can just afford to eat
When the politicians say to you there’s nothing we can do
Maybe it was time we took some action
Some direct action
Some direct action
Cause it speaks louder than words
Maybe doin’ what we know is right
Is the best way to be heard
While they fuck about in parliament
We’ll be building our new world
And no one but ourselves is gonna do it for ourselves
No one but ourselves
We’re chokin’ on the air we breathe, there’s plastic in the sea
The vegetables are patented, you pay to plant the seeds
The rich are buildin’ bunkers so they can get away scot-free
The government does nothin’, money to be made you see
The education’s broken, the children are depressed
They’re trained to be obedient, not how to be their best
And when the politicians say to you there’s nothin’ we can do
Maybe it was time we took some action
Some direct action
Some direct action
Cause action gets the goods
And maybe if you hadda tried you woulda seen you could
Some things in life need to be felt to be truly understood
And no one but ourselves is gonna do it for ourselves
No one but ourselves
No one but ourselves
Human kinds potential is endless and unknown
If you give to each just what they need and let the light be shown
But to reach that stage of freedom there’s a movement to be grown
And no one but ourselves is gonna do it for ourselves.

Stumble Day
04:06
|
|||
Oh I will always seem to know you, fall through
All the holes you seem to fall through when you
Go through all the things you’ll go through
Piece by piece
And harmony protect you when you go
So crawl if crawlings what you want to
Tumble if it’s tumbling that takes you, takes you home
Or somewhere good to get to, get to
Love and harmony protect you when you go
So run when the rhythm of life begins to take you, take you
On in the way that it takes to make you break through, break through
Anything you care to tumble into, into
Love and harmony protect you when you go
So you will know me by my vices, time goes
On and I’ll be dying then, priceless so
Tell all the world we’re in this crisi, oh my love
Protect me from my vices, time goes on
Protect me from my vices, oh my love
Protect me from my vices, time goes on

The Voices
05:41
|
|||
The voices, I can feel them in my bones
Of all the stories that’ve ever been known
The voices, So far yet so near
The pain and the suffering of thousands of years
The voices in in languages no longer heard
The voices of people from all over the world
The voices of those whose way of life was destroyed
From who everything was taken that brought them joy
The voices that are missing from the history books
The voices of those who were overlooked
We need to listen with an open heart
To the voices of the world of which we’re all a part
We need to listen and make some room
Try to understand, and learn to tune into the voices
We need to listen with an open heart
To the voices of the world of which we’re all a part
We need to listen and make some room
Try to understand, and learn to tune into the voices
Of the people as they cry
The voices of the people with their fists held high
The voices so bold
The voices of the rebels both young and old
The voices
We need to listen with an open heart
To the voices of the world of which we’re all a part
We need to listen and make some room
Try to understand, and learn to tune into the voices

The Lying Devil
04:55
|
|||
We met this lying Devil
Who said we were goin’ to hell
No uptopia for any of us you see and
None for him as well
It wasn’t fear that drove this pessimist but a
Cruel kind fo joy
For he believed that he was Lucifer
The poor unstable boy
Hell,
My hell
Is heaven
As well
Hell,
My hell
Is heaven
As well
So we damned this lying devil
Damned him down to hell
But I have a friend who say him recently
And said he’s doin’ well
Said he’s in his own space now
And in his own time
But that we could all go visit him
Someday down the line
Hell,
My hell
Is heaven
As well
Hell,
My hell
Is heaven
As well

The Old Response
06:44
|
|||
Flickering flame draws your glance
Your eyes are shining, the colours dance
The soul inside is spurred to flight
The old response to the firey light
Upon the shoulders of those before us
Feel the heat, it’s a vibrant chorus
That is unlocked when fire’s spied
Whose and light are qualified
To keep us safe and strong and free
To dream upon our own humanity
The fire burns, my mind discerns
Breath of wood to ash returns
The energy within concealed
I can see now what’s behind the veil
Shadows chased away by light
Now are dancing creatures bright
Undefined and free of form
Invention sparks within us born
Spark leaps up to join its’ kin
The flame without, the flame within
Within the burning embers lie
The inspiration of our own minds eye
From hearth to thought, from earth to mind
To then escape to conquer time
To kindle life, the spark will fly,
To live it’s light, before to die
As crackling the blaze it leaps,
Reaches upwards for the sky
To where distant stars infernos blaze
All of this reflected in your gaze
Your eyes gleam, the stillness seems
To rest upon your dancing dreams,
The energy within concealed
I can see now what’s behind the veil

Take Time
04:42
|
|||
When you heart is sore open up that door
Invite them through and to yourself be true
When sadness knocks don’t turn them away
Although it may feel like a rainy day
Each one of them must have their say
It’s in this way that we pray
for me for you for me for you
Take time to be beside yourself with glee
Take time to be in your own company
So embrace the river, they flow each through
Windin’ into a part of you
For to live is to do to feel life is to cry
Cry out to the angels
Why why you, me, why you, why me
Take time to be beside yourself with glee
Take time to be in your own company
