Song lyrics

Now I don't know about you, but
I don't think the primary purpose of your life, of my life and the entirety of the human race is just to blindly consume to support a failing economy and a faulty system.
For ever and ever, until we run out of every resource and have to resort to blowing each other up to ensure our own survival.
I don't think we're supposed to sit by idle while we continue to use a long outdated system that produces war, poverty, collusion, corruption, ruins our environment and threatens every aspect of our health and does nothing but divide and segregate us.
I don't think how much military equipment we are selling to other countries, how many hydrocarbons we're burning, how much money is being printed and exchanged, is a good measure of how healthy our society is.
But I do think I can speak for everyone when I say
We're sick of this shit!

Time to mobilise
Time to open eyes

We are not a quiet pocket of resistance
This is real and we cannot afford to fail
Act with, act with persistence
This is real and we cannot afford to fail

"I am the established order
Respect me and fear me"
Fuck you, we hold no respect
And when tomorrow comes
We're gonna stamp on your head
Pig

Woah, woah, calm down
(Calm down mate)
Calm the fuck down
Gandhi mate remember Gandhi
(Jesus, just remember)

Alright I'm fine

"See if we keep them silent
Then they'll resort to violence
And that's how we criminalise change"

Yabba-dabba, do one son
We don't want you rules
Who you fooling son?
We got all the tools
We need to build a whole new system
To correct these flaws
"Yeah like what?"
I've already listed them
"You're a communist!
You're a fucking utopianist!"
There come the emotive labels
But their attempt just fails
Cause man, we're so far out your comfort zone

We stop, think, begin to revive
We stop, think, begin to revive
We stop, we think, we begin to revive
We begin to revive

Put the call out to the front line
Get the message out to the contact squad
Transmit emergency frequencies
Put the call out to the frontline
Get the message out to the contact squad
Put the call out
Put the call out
Put the call oooooouut!

Oh, the jigsaw starts to build
Oh, the jigsaw starts to build
Piece by piece!

Open their minds

Transmit emergency frequencies

Open their minds

Transmit emergency frequencies

Emergency frequencies

Emergency frequencies

Emergency frequencies

Emergency frequencies
