Lyrics

We created the state in Iran We created the afghan Taliban We created the hate in Iraq That provided the spark for the ISIS clan We created this mess Playing the world now like a game of chess Anybody wanna guess Who the pawns are? Getting fucked like a porn star? Damn right that's us Any fool can tell Banging on the door at the gates of hell You'd do well To educate yourself Instead of getting caught up Trying to make your wealth Forget about yourself For one minute people look around the world How bad does it need to get Before you get upset And realise that you can rebel You think you know now what you know But you know what you see And you see what they show you So come along You think the world is set in stone Look around how many Romans d'you see? Everything that rises must fall Think you know now what you know But you know what you see And you see what they show you So come along You think the world is set in stone Look around how many Romans d'you see? Everything that rises must fall Give your more to receive your less How many gadgets you get for your pound of flesh? Forty hours a week of pure stress Just to be able to dress to impress While the rest of the world might as well be Mars Empire never really meant to last Throw rocks in a house of glass Like a madman living in Centreparcs But don't listen to me Go read up on your history and you'll see It's never really what it's supposed to be Looking through the lens Of the shit they show on TV but the news we see At best serves the interests of the powers that be Saying if you wanna drink tea And live in a democracy Then the market's got to be free You think you know now what you know But you know what you see And you see what they show you So come along You think the world is set in stone Look around how many Romans d'you see? Everything that rises must fall You think you know now what you know But you know what you see And you see what they show you So come along You think the world is set in stone Look around how many Romans d'you see? Everything that rises must fall Wages fall and they push up the prices These people don't know what nice is Take a look at the crisis with ISIS Governments left to their own devices You might think that's unrelated But the fact is reality is complicated And the backroom deals that seal the fate Of these countries never even get debated at all Even when the countries at war Even when all the young men fall And all because the energy companies still want more While the poor Here in the UK can't even afford to stay warm While they struggle surviving Profits are rising Ask yourself why we support the violence You think you know now what you know But you know what you see And you see what they show you So come along You think the world is set in stone Look around how many Romans d'you see? Everything that rises must fall
