False Promise

I woke today by the window light
Saw a town filled with strangers on every side
Scared and tired they were ready for a fight
Well they looked just like me and you

When I went down to the streets for a closer look
There was much that I recognised
I heard desperate hearts beating to urgent songs
I knew the fire in their eyes burned true

I saw beggar with preacher
Pupil with teacher
And babes in the arms of the old
Every soul there met a change in the air
The anger of the false promise they were sold

Don't let them fuck us
Support the damn strike
Tell this coalition
To get on thier bike
