We Are What We Own Lyrics - Singles - The King Blues

Just give it guns and drugs 

And the world is yours 

The food we shove right through young jaws 

Saying they don't care about politics when it's 

Politics that don't care about the kids 

Of course they expect you to stay down 

That's why they got you gagged up and bound 

Why can't they afford to keep the youth clubs, 

But they can afford to lock the youth up? 

It's bullshit. 

What did you create? 

Now that we won't wait 

With our noses pressed up 

Against the glass. 

You made clear what we need 

Kept it out of reach 

You reap what you sow (now we're in control) 

Now we'll take what we want 

And we'll tear the world apart 

Cos we are what we own 

Yeah, we are what we own. 

We are, we are, we are, we are, we are 

We are, we are, we are, we are what we own. 

What we own. 

They say I'm just an angry man 

Yes, I am 

I'm angry cos I made the connection 

The children of the damned ain't the children of the man 

We're born into rejection 

And with every demand, we obey their command 

We're apart of the disaffection 

We understand we got to take it back 

If you ain't angry, you ain't paying attention 

Before you digress, 

I think you best address, 

In case, of this, 

Ever happening again 

You made clear what we need 

Kept it out of reach 

You reap what you sow (now we're in control) 

Now we'll take what we want 

And we'll tear the world apart 

Cos we are what we own 

Yeah, we are what we own. 

Well poverty climbs up 

And that means the crimes up 

Learn from the past - we're best to combine up 

Young people, wise up 

Poor people, rise up 

Ruling class, move over, your time's up 

Yeah, could this be our calling? 

Our own eyes watching empires falling? 

I'd rather die on my feet than crawling 

I live by the river while London is brawling. 

You can't blame the youth, 

When you ain't got no proof 

That we didn't learn 

Everything from you 

You made clear what we need 

Kept it out of reach 

You reap what you sow (now we're in control) 

Now we'll take what we want 

And we'll tear the world apart 

Cos we are what we own 

Yeah, we are what we own. 

We are, we are, we are, we are 

We are, we are, we are, we are what we own. 

What we own. 

We are, we are, we are, we are 

We are, we are, we are, we are what we own. 

We are 

What we own.
