lyrics

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the corridors of power celebrating fops
Wine and dine while telling us we should be picking crops
family values on their lips - a mistress on their sheets
utterly oblivious to the brewing in the streets

I’m coming to get them…

noble savage, eastern promise
Trope for films and books
Now they cannot call us that for all our dirty looks
Play their weapons in our yard and fill their bank and fridge
But when we come for shelter, swiftly they draw up the bridge

I’m coming to get them…

Let them buy and buy to let and let to squeeze and choke
Let them grope, molest and rape then forward as a joke
bow to mammon, count their spoils and never watch the wall
where silhouettes of rising masses march to bring their fall.

I’m coming to get them…
get them.
