Can you hear it?
|
Ear against the ground and you'll hear it
|
I can tell a change when I hear it
|
|
We are tigers
|
Kings of jungles
|
Trapped in cages
|
We forget we once were free!
|
|
And the average swain
|
Would be contented in his chains
|
Were it not for complainers like me
|
|
Throw the book
|
I'm up against it
|
Up against the rules
|
Bring the experts
|
Up against them
|
Up against the fools
|
Bring on city hall
|
I'm against them all
|
|
Lamp of freedom
|
|
No, you can't change
|
Human nature
|
Wheels of power
|
Keep revolving endlessly
|
With a fanatical faction
|
A charismatic attraction
|
There's a piece of that action for me
|
|
Call the press
|
I'm up against it
|
Up against the flacks
|
Bring the shrink
|
I'm up against it
|
Up against the quacks
|
Revenuers
|
Up against it
|
Up against the tax
|
Name some names
|
And I'm up against them
|
Bullies, big and small
|
I'm against them all
|
|
All we need is some vitality
|
Like an [...] individuality
|
But I guess they [...]
|
[...] make it all alone
|
|
Bring the girls
|
I'm up against them
|
I'm up against their lips
|
Bring the boys
|
I'm up against them
|
Up against their hips
|
Bring the priest
|
I'm up against him
|
Up against that cross
|
Bring the mob
|
I'm up against it
|
Up against the boss
|
Bring the cops
|
I'm up against it
|
Up against the jaw
|
Throw the book
|
I'm up against it
|
Up against the law
|
|
Politicians, all - I'm against them
|
Fascist lackies all against the wall
|
|
Fist of freedom
|
Guns of freedom
|
|
Bring the lackies
|
Up against it
|
Up against the wall
|
Bring the bishop
|
Up against it
|
Up against the wall
|
Bring the chairman
|
Up against it
|
Up against the wall
|
Put the general
|
Up against it
|
Up against the wall!
