Beans On Toast Protest Song
When the fundamental things in society are wrong
It's a really good time for a protest song
The world as we know it is breaking at the seams
And the people are uniting, and taking to the streets
To say they're bored of the greed, bored of the corruption
And of the lie that is capitalism
When leaders are bought, and freedom is sold
We're gonna listen to the girl with the megaphone
She said “Change is gonna come, it won't take long
It's a really good time for a protest song”
And revolution is a really big word
I've never even been to a protest before
I'm just jumping on the bandwagon
Hoping it'll help me sell some albums
And I've gotta sell albums if I wanna make money
Cause that's the only thing that would ever make me happy
It was written in me when I was a child
Money makes the world go round
So we're here today to stop the world turning
And introduce a new way of thinking
We're people over profit, love over greed
Raise your hands and shake em at me
And if enough of us turn up and join the fight
We could change the world tonight
When globalisation means that everybody knows
There's a protest happening all around the world
It's not just us, it's not just here
In fact the feeling's mutual everywhere
A few rich people made all of the decisions
Affecting the whole of civilisation
And they f..cked it up, they got it wrong
It's a really good time for a protest song
And revolution is a really big word
I've never even been to a protest before
I'm just jumping on the bandwagon
Hoping it'll help me sell some albums
And I've gotta sell albums if I wanna make money
Cause that's the only thing that would ever make me happy
It was written in me when I was a child
Money makes the world go round
So we're here today to stop the world turning
And introduce a new way of thinking
We're people over profit, love over greed
Raise your hands and shake em at me
And if enough of us turn up and join the fight
We could change the world tonight
