LYRICS:
Intro
Brexited, Toried and Lockdowned,
Taxed up, mortgaged and broke
Down-out, down-beat, down-trodden,
It has to be time for a change.

1st verse
‘If they have no bread,’
Marie-Antoinette said
‘Then let them all eat cake’
But the oppressed people said
‘We’d rather be dead,
We can’t take any more of this ache.’

So the people protest
Cried ‘Off with her head!
We refuse to be phony and fake
We’ve been taken for plebs
And left underfed
Too late have we seen our mistake.’

Pre-Chorus
We’ve believed them.
We’ve been conned.
We’ve been lied to
We’ve been wronged.
We’ve been lied to,
And denied too
And we’re still being told to eat cake.

Chorus
So..It’s time for a change…
Raise your voice to the air
It’s time for a change
Revolution is here
This is our song,
our rights unexpressed
We’ve been silent too long
Lost our dreams and our songs
We’ve been silent for too long
Don’t know where we belong
This is our song-Revolution is set
For the festival of the oppressed’.
(This is our song the stage is set
For the festival of the oppressed.)

Ooh ooh ooh

2nd Verse
Still have no bread
Still lied to instead
still being told to eat cake
let’s all watch Bake Off
While we’re being laid off
To numb and silence our ache

Pre-Chorus
We’ve believed them.
We’ve been conned.
We’ve been lied to
We’ve been wronged.
We’ve been lied to,
And denied too
And we’re still being told to ‘eat cake’

Bridge
Trussed up, Faraged and Johnsoned
Putin-Netanyahu’d and Trumped
We’re down-out, down-beat, down-trodden,
It has to be time for a change.
Brexited, Toried and Lockdowned,
Taxed up, mortgaged and broke
Down-out, down-beat, down-trodden,
It has to be time for a change.

Chorus
So..It’s time for a change…
Raise your voice to the air
It’s time for a change
Revolution is here
This is our song,
our rights now expressed
There’s power in our voice
There’s strength in our words
When the whole world is silent,
Our voice must be heard.
This is our song-Revolution is set
For the festival of the oppressed’.

Ooh ooh

Outro
Stressed and depressed
compressed, distressed
possessed and surpressed.
Our rights unexpressed
