Gandhi Mate, Gandhi

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While we continue to use a long outdated system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're 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 persistence

"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!

"See if we keep them silent; then they'll resort to violenc; and that's how you criminalise change"

Yabba dabba do understand we don't want your rules

Who you fooling son? We got all the tools we need

To build a whole new system

To correct these flaws

"Yeh 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

'Cos man we're so far out your comfort zone

We stop, think, begin to revive

Put the call out to the front line

Get the message out to the contact squad

Transmit emergency frequencies

The jigsaw starts to build piece by piece

Open their minds, transmit emergency frequencies
