Enter Shikari - Fanfare For The Consious Man lyrics

rate me

Each nation used to provide its country with security

with factories providing arms for their country

Now multinational companies compete in the arms trade

to serve any customer, maximising the money to be made

So just as farms compete to provide fruit for other countries

so people can live to enjoy the taste of nature

National warehouses compete to provide arms around the world

to aid death

and all hell unfolds.

Our gracious queen

should grasp her crown

and take a good fucking swing at Blair and Brown

for leading her countries to illegal warfare

and trying to pass it off that we're doing 'cause we care.

Now prudence of wars are a redemptive cause

I've never heard such nonsense under international laws

We think we have the right to enforce democracy

when we're weakening ours everyday

What hypocrisy.

We'll be together against this

We'll be forever against this

We'll be together against this

We'll be forever against this

Fuck man

I just woke up to a land where killing is part of every day

and every mind in this intelligent species

is then blinded into the battlefield

like it's natural for us to break instead of build

Unities intrinsic the only cause worth fighting for,

all religions, colours and creeds

Now we are the world and we are the people

We are the world and we are the people

and we will be heard.

We'll be together against this

We'll be forever against this

We'll be together against this

We'll be forever against this

We'll be together against this

We'll be forever against this

We'll be together against this

We'll be forever against this

We'll be together against this

We'll be forever against this

We'll be together against this

We'll be forever against this
