Politics Of Hope Lyrics - Paloma Faith

The rights and freedoms that we have today 

Were won by your mothers, your fathers, your grandmothers 

Your grandfathers, your ancestors before them 

We stand on the shoulders of giants and we owe it to our ancestors 

Not just to defend the rights and freedoms 

That they fought for at such cost and at such sacrifice 

That continue their struggle that a different sort of society 

Not a society run in the interests of a tiny elite 

But a society run in the interests of the majority

Those who preach the politics of the spare 

They want us to believe that all in justice is like the weather 

That you can complain about your raining 

But there's nothing you can do about it 

But the politics of hope tells us something else
