Got no reason, look at us breedin’ - over populating
The major cities, propa busy, gettin’ isolating
When I look out the window, I don’t see a beautiful view
Just tower blocks, a lot of cars while am sippin’ ma brew
Call me a freak but can’t ya see that grey is everywhere?
I want a scene, walk on green, a clean breeze through ma hair
Ma favourite thing to do is look up at the sky at night
But light pollution stops the stars from shining bright
Chainsaw the trees, erect a concrete jungle
Backward human race at a relentless pace
Am a plant pot face, plant pot face
Plant pot face, protect every race
A higher intellect does not give us the right to choose
What lives, what dies, they ain’t got a clue!
If we gave animals a voice I reckon they would sue
All the destroyers of plants and put ‘em in a zoo
Murder the trees, erect a concrete jungle
Backward human race at a relentless pace
Am a plant pot face, plant pot face
Plant pot face, pollution is disgrace
Plant pot FACE

Days of Our Lives
06:23

She’s gone away, had it all yesterday
Wondered into the forest, got lost on the way
Out there in the distance, she shone through the dark
Kept the candle a-burnin’ but now we’re apart
Seein’ her, hearin’ her voice as she’s singin’
It felt like a drug with a new kind of high
My own Irish clover, she pledged to the clover
Her life was like bright summertime in the light of the sun
The sun, the sun
I think of the borders between both the lands
While an hourglass freezes, no flow in the sand
There’s splashes of hope in my memory stream
Causing ripples of gladness, a mind full of dreams
We had our time drinkin’ whiskey and wine
Through the days that were ours and the nights and the stars
Now we tried letting go of emotions that flowed
Like a river of gold, shining bright as the snow in the sun
The sun, the sun
Makin’ a change, gonna find a way
Embrace the sun and the wind and the rain
Get a new start, though it may be hard
Find who we are, send away what we’re not, coz
These of the days of our lives
These are the days of our lives
We don’t solve our problems from the barrel of a gun
These are the days of our lives
Now it’s our time, never to rewind
Seeing is easy, just open your mind
Take a deep breath, ready to invest
Joy in humanity, put it to the test, coz
These of the days of our lives
These are the days of our lives
We can do anything by dancin’ in the sun
Roam through The Pastures, yeah, come on everyone
Watch the horizon, live free…
Day by day, honesty’s the only way
These of the days of our lives
These are the days of our lives
We don’t solve our problems from the barrel of a gun
These are the days of our lives
These of the days of our lives
These are the days of our lives
We can do anything by dancin’ in the sun
Roam through The Pastures, yeah, come on everyone
Watch the horizon, live free…
Day by day, honesty’s the only way

What Would You Do

Freedom, would you fight for your county?
Freedom, would you fight in a war?
Freedom, would you pay for protection?
Freedom, would you pay with your life?
Liars, it shouldn’t cost a penny
Liars, should not be fightin’ at all
Liars, there always consequences
Liars, it’s not our debt to pay
What would you do if it was you, would you live up to the cause?
Live like an animal, swim in the deep, end up in the jaws
Abolish money ‘cause it’s not funny when ya think of the poor
Born in a third world country’s nothin’ but an unlucky draw
What’s your problem? Our taxes pay for your war
Am sick of this s*** it’s not about control
You stir the seas but we share a boat
Humanity, will it sink or float?
What would you do if it was you, thievin’ food to survive
When every day is a struggle, they don’t care for the deprived
The suits are actin’ concerned but poverty’s not on their mind
They use our money to conquer and to divide
What’s your problem? We’re always takin’ the fall
Am working-class, I should be havin’ a ball
Equality, get it in your head
Coz folk are hungry but you’re already fed
Freedom, would you fight for your county?
Freedom, would you fight in a war?
Freedom, would you pay for protection?
Freedom, would you pay with your life?
Pay with your life!
Na na na na na…

End of Days

We’re makin’ circles, chasin’ tails
Feels like am runnin’ off the rails
I dread to think what’s comin’ next
Look at the ozone getting’ thin
Deforestation is a sin
Stop the consuming of the earth
The whole damn planet is a gift
Treat it well, don’t take the p***
What will we see in years to come?
A holocaust, nuclear strike
Mass-destruction over night
What is a vote when we don’t know?
Not gonna live in disarray [oi oi oi!]
Pollution stays but the planet pays
It’s evolution so they say
At the end of days, will it be too late?
Hypocracy is always there
Empty words are what they share
‘Long as they’re stayin’ in control
But we’ve got an opportunity
Makin’ change in unity
Revolution for the win
In justice acts shouldn’t be of man
We gotta deal, do what we can
Their selfish ways, am not a fan
At the end of days, could it be too late?
Not gonna live in disarray
Pollution stays but the planet pays
It’s evolution so they say
At the end of days, will it be too late?
At the end of days, it’s gonna be too late
