To force change on things that matter
we need more than idle chatter
to halt our dissatisfaction
It is time NOW to take action
∞
we’ve become complacent sheeple
lets stand up for “We the People”
thin the flock by a small fraction
It is time NOW to take action
∞
whilst government is out to lunch
we can and should take the first punch
Revolution/ chain reaction
It is time NOW to take action
∞
no more burying heads in sand
rise up, revolt, just take a stand
together we can gain traction
It is time NOW to take action
∞
To force change on things that matter
It is time NOW to take action
