lyrics
I hold my hands up - a revolution
I hold my hands up, so can you help me
I’m not the only one, asking to save me
Cos my heart beat, is drowning in the air I breathe, polluted seas whilst the land is filling up, you think that’s good enough?
I’m talking to your soul me,
I’m gonna start a fire
Open your eyes to what is sold cheap,
To the highest buyer
And when, did you money, start to taste so good
I wasn’t looking for the big shot, my name to be in light
I won’t forget to be hero, with a heart of fire
No we don’t wanna be the victims of a loosing fight
So I’m showing them resistance,
A piece of my mind.
Wont be a player in the system.
