Grassroots Resistance

just across from where I'm standing

the masses are demanding

a recognition of the national flag

but there are things that the punks should do

to illustrate the value

of tolerance and (true) demoocracy

hide behind the british flag yeah

but its gonna get us nowhere

why have lines when human interests are the same?

cos you can shut out other people

keep wealth globally unequal

but injustice always leads to discontent 

this grassroots resistance

remains invisible

the key is persistence

then we're unstoppable 

we're all children of our culture

the views it fosters we must alter

the unquestioning objection to progression

the clocks go back as well as forward

and I won't let myself feel awkward

keeping borders shut is clearly not the answer

wrapped inside a british flag yeah

but its gonna get you nowhere

why have lines when human interests are the same?

cos you can shut out other people

keep wealth globally unequal

but injustice always leads to discontent yeah 

our attitudes have gotta turn around

for a global unity

here's to looking back

to learn from our mistakes

take the nation from our identity
