Lyrics
Bring The House Down
There's no justice, it's all just a mess, time to tear it down.
No more fat cats getting ahead on homeless begging for bread...
Dice are loaded, the cards are all marked, time to lose these clowns,
with their 'be all you can be' and 'freedom's voting for me'.
The rich get richer and the poor get what?
You've guessed it - not a lot!
Time to stop the play and change the plot,
bring The House down...
Our kids starving, our planet in flames, time to change the rules.
No more soldiers shooting us up and leaders dressing us down...
They're know-nothings, can't see what we see, find a better way.
- We won't get what we need while they wallow in greed.
'Heads I win', they say, 'and tails you lose'.
We're screwed whichever we choose...
Time to take a chance on something new,
bring The House down...
It's so simple, as easy as pie, share it with a friend...
Don't ask colour or creed, it's all one when we bleed.
And don't heed politicians and priests, spreading doubt and fear.
We can't turn it around, while they're holding us down...
The game's a bogey, baby, can't you see,
ain't no equality...
Time to spin the wheel of history,
tear The House down...
