These four walls, they weren't built by me Known collectively as society They have an internal integrity Language, Politics, Law, Morality Build them higher up and it's further we see On the parapets of democracy Draw the map outside and its topography Shows the world inside's not what it's s'posed to be Can't think of things if we don't have the words Power has rendered our world so absurd Contemptible laws keep our voices unheard Structures of civilisation itself Kill populations and say it's for health Dig your own grave, leave your sense on the shelf These four walls, they were bound to fail The foundation's base made from capital The distortion of what should always be Language, Politics, Law, Morality We could knock them down But the foundation remains Have to dig it up, throw it all away Fill the hole that's left with humanity Leave all greed behind Live in harmony Say what we will, do as we please Natural law, not some kingly decrees Look out for your neighbours and communities Topple our leaders and weapons of state Take back the press from the merchants of hate Start the uprising before it's too late
