Poem Lyrics - Memories Of The Future - She Drew The Gun

Can't believe what I'm reading when I open up these sheets 

they've got police getting busier, cleaning up the streets 

'Cos that's what we need now to make the place neat 

take the homeless mans rags,no sleeping bags no place to sleep 

Because we're far too civilised around here to see 

an unkempt human being, a broken human being 

open up your eyes are you seeing what I'm seeing, yeah 

a misplaced made to feel disgraced human being 

what it's not enough to just pretend that you don't see him 

you can't stand the sight so you've got to dissapear him 

well I hope you feel more comfortable doing your sight seeing 

taking pictures, buying fucking Union Jack magnets and keyrings 

Life give me something to believe in 

No lies, just something to believe in 

Am I the only one that's grieving 

these things that belong to you and you and me that they are thieving 

It's time for something to believe in 

I'm tired, need something to believe in 

Am I the only one that's grieving 

these things that belong to me that they are thieving 

And how long until they build a wall and call it a private city 

they got walls made out of laws to exclude you and me 

Now they take away our right, to fight those laws for free 

no legal aid, no more justice, only for the wealthy 

Oh but they're trying to build a more healthy society 

So that everybody knows you don't get nothin' for free 

No scroungers, no living room loungers, living off me 

Can I suggest you're seeing exactly what they want you to see 

a monster, cancer, threat to your liberty 

How 'bout a scapegoat for their crimes, a victim of the times 

everything that your not meant to be 

How 'bout a badly prepared, scared human being 

how about a necessary cog in their economic machines 

If their was no unemployment tell me how would things be 

would you still feel lucky to be working 40 hours a week 

Well like a caged bird and they got us by the beak 

give us enough to eat, enough to sleep, enough to tweet 

but there's not enough space between the ground and our feet 

we're singing songs of freedom but we're not flying free 

Life give me something to believe in 

No lies, just something to believe in 

Am I the only one that's grieving 

these things that belong to you and me that they are thieving 

It's time for something to believe in 

I'm tired, need something to believe in 

Am I the only one that's grieving 

these things that belong to me that they are thieving 

And this whole world's got me hurting 

got me feeling undeserving 

got me questioning my worth in this sad system that we're serving 

found no place in this twisted race for property 

is making profit the sole aim of humanity 

Protect the banks, bring out the tanks if they disagree 

while we're at it let's invest some more in military 

All our friends have shares so why shouldn't we 

And now the markets are demanding that we give away for free 

everything that our grandparents fought for to some company 

It's called wealth creation, yeah, it's more efficient you see 

Well sorry I forgot the free market would set us free 

I forgot to only think about I am and me 

while brothers and sisters have nothing to eat 

brothers and sisters, at home and over seas 

So I can't lie down and I wont let it be 

While we are working for a market that doesn't work for we 

These things that they're thieving, yours and mine 

I know that they're still stealing, but there's still time 

if you feel this way too
