Song

This is a new song... so u cant hear the tune!!! but thought I'd post anyway.

I wrote a song about saving the world
then I was too afraid to sing it
cause here in this free western democracy
seems there's less & less real freedom in it

we're under surveillence from cameras & men
supposedly meant to protect us
“oh officer please don't push me I have a weak heart”
of course the 2 things are competely disconnected.

& if you should find yrself ill, weak or poor
& need state help just with surviving
well best not complain too loud long or sure
or that help may never be arriving

we're free to get drunk, work in jobs we dont love
& buy lots of clothes made in China
we're free to hate our bodies and try to change our face
our breasts and our other areas which are actually stunningly beautifully exactly as they are!

& we spend so much time filmed on CCTV
if there were oscars surely we'd all o won 'it
'Best crossing the road', 'Best female picking yr nose'
“without my family & friends I could ne'er o done it!”

& some of us remember somewhere under the skin
when freedom felt like fire in the blood
& not only did we stand, shout & call for human rights
we believed we could build a world we love

So go find a camera & tell it yr dreams
there not there just to watch us walk & vomit!
Think about yr fears and yr hopes for the world,
Then say it & make sure a cameras on it!
