lyrics

"No one should get something for nothing"
Said the man who got everything for nothing, nothing
Just a genetic twist of fate
To inherit wealth so great
You’re not my mate
You’re not my mate

But as soon as the people get up off their sofas
The unwashed masses the lazy loafers
You can’t hide under your four poster
The serfs and plebs are coming to get ya

And now it’s back to the ball and chain, disdain
To deal with the cards the world dealt you
From the shirkers to the burkas
Get in line with call centre workers
Oh they can’t hurt us
No, they can’t hurt us

On the perfect day
Tudo seria como imaginei (everything would be like I always imagined)
Um mundo onde as diferancas sociais (a world where social differences)
Ja nao existiriam mais (wouldn't exist anymore)

Seriamos todos iguais (oh we would all be the same)
Nao haveria pobres nem ricos (there wouldn't be poor or rich)
Nem classes sociais (neither social classes)
E mais por mais diferentes que fossemos um dos outros (and more however different we were from one another)
Pouco ou muito muito ou pouco eramos iguais (little or very much very much or little we would all be equal)
Mas nada disso acontece povo (but nothing like that is happening my people)
Eu disso tenho a certeza e ponho as minhas maos no fogo - esquece (of that i am sure and i put my hands in the fire - forget)
E nem que eu tivesse de nascer de novo (not even if i had been born again)
Tenho a certeza que ia passar pelo mesmo de novo - peco (I am sure that I would be facing the same issues all over again - I ask)

A todos irmaos (to all my brothers)
Muita fe e compaixao (a lot of faith and compassion)
Wales!
Vamos todos levantar as maos (lets all raise our hands)
Brasil!
Todo o mundo em busca da uniao (everybody in search of union)
Everybody now I said uniao (unite)
Everyone say uniao
Now everybody say uniao
Now everybody say

E agora bora la todo mundo a pensar junto (and now let's all think together)
Se eu andar num Porsche ou num Ferrari vira logo assunto (if I drive a Porsche or Ferrari it becomes a topic)
E se eu viver em Ely ou Splot nao posso ganhar muito (and if I live in Ely or Splott I shouldn't be earning enough)
Apenas viver de beneficios e andar num Fiat Punto (I should only be able to live on benefits and drive a Fiat Punto - why)
So porque eu sou preto e vivo no getto - peta (just because I look rough and live in a deprived area - crap)
E se por azar nascesse Romeno - ou Checo (and if by chance I was born Romanian - or Czech)
Inda era menos considerado pela sociedade (I would be even less noticed by society)
E despresado como merda na sargeta - protesto (and ignored just like faeces in the toilet - I protest)
Nao importa quem nao importa o que (no matter who no matter what)
Nem vale a pena mano (not worth it bro)
Daqui nao levas nada (you won't win anything with it)
A nao ser muito argumento da cara e banho de augua gelada (only a lot of arguments and unnecessary fights)
