Step Up

(album: Common Dreads - 2009)

Come!

If our own lives aren't directly affected,
then it don't need to be corrected
How fucking cute is our ignorance?
Yeah, we're insidious
as they're praying for deliverance
We shelter ourselves from the outcries
We blinker ourselves from the eyesores
But I know
WE HAVE GREATNESS WITHIN US

"We have greatness within us; innovative, giving, determined
it's time for the best in us to come out"

SEARCH and you can find imbalance
SEEK you can destroy imbalance
And you can change your values
(Step up today) Step up today

Yes, solid

Now let me get one thing straight
You know what?
Sometimes I do wish apples were our currency
so your hoarded millions would rot in their vault
then that'd teach you to lay off the assault
that you're barraging on the lands of the poor
And I know we've all got enough problems of our own
But-but they're not show stoppers as we sit on our throne
in a home heated by a life unknown to the exploited

And it's so frustrating;
The fucking state we're in!

If our own lives aren't directly affected,
then it does need to be corrected
How fucking cute is our ignorance?
Yeah, we're insidious
as they're praying for deliverance
We shelter ourselves from the outcries
We blinker ourselves from the eyesores

SEARCH and you can find imbalance
SEEK you can destroy imbalance
And you can change your values
(Step up today) Step up today

SEARCH and you can find imbalance
SEEK you can destroy imbalance
And you can change your values
(Step up today) Step up today

"Why is it so many companies built to serve us
end up ruling us?
Our British empire built free-trade
opportunistic oppression?"
