Rise

They’re turning out the lights in good old London town
Destroying all our memories look hard they are still around
All grown up and gentrified but still built up on lies
Our history been kicked aside replaced by higher rise
Steel and glass predominate this urban gentrify
Ripped the very heart out city life about to die
Killing off our culture this government deny
Those born and bred priced out instead they struggle to survive
We don’t need no gentrification
We all live here after all
I've seen the writing on the wall
That this city’s about to fall, fall, fall, fall
Rise rise rise up for me tonight
All gentrified and formalised
Its heart ripped from the core
Turned out the lights but kept the sights
The tourists clamour for
They’re building for the sake of it
Fills bankers pockets more
And they’re killing London’s culture
Like they never have before
Approved the demolition but you'll never take us down
Took a feather from old mother cap but you will never steal her crown
You’ve lied to so many times but we are organised
This is our day of reckoning together we're unified
Steel and glass predominate this urban gentrify
Ripped the very heart out city life about to die
Killing off our culture this government deny
Those born and bred priced out instead they struggle to survive
We don’t need no gentrification
We all live here after all
I’ve seen the writing on the wall
That this city’s about to fall, fall, fall, fall
Rise rise rise up for me tonight
All gentrified and formalised
Its heart ripped from the core
Turned out the lights but kept the sights
The tourists clamour for
They’re building for the sake of it
Fills bankers pockets more
And they’re killing londons culture
Like they never have before
We don’t need no gentrification
Cos we are people, not experimentation
Rise rise rise up for me tonight
Rise watch everybody rise
They tell us fucking lies
Watch everybody rise
We don’t need no
Gentrification
