lyrics

Hail to the plebs
And the new world order they believe
It's all in their heads
With all the waste they conceive
The salt of the Earth
Entitled to poison the well
Deafened by the tune
Of silent liberty bells

Totalitarian
Unelectable
Unconstitutional
Unfair

Tyranny
By the people
For the people
Someone tell me
Who takes your civil rights away
Tyranny
By the people
For the people
At odds with the state
Don't fear
To tread on a snake

If you want government control
Go to Tiananmen
Anti-tank is a must
If you want tyranny
Ask Reverend Jones
He used to be one of us
Private citizens
Controlling our lives
And blaming the state
Suburban fascist auxiliaries
Sewing the salt of their hate

Grassroots
Hate speech
Plebarchy
Democracy in exile

Tyranny
By the people
For the people
Someone tell me
Who takes your civil rights away
Tyranny
By the people
For the people
At odds with the state
Don't fear
To tread on a snake

An emperor without any clothes
Is mentally ill
A wolf in sheepskin
Has already killed
A boy with blood on his hands
Has cried wolf before
Carry a stick
This means civil war
It's on

Someone tell me why
Our suspicions lie on absent MP's
And not our neighbours
The inconspicuous enemies
Crackpots in jackboots
With dagger and cloak
Pleading innocent
While they're slitting your throat

Anti-freedom
Anti-justice
Agendas that "move on"
Ivory tower soap box dictators

Tyranny
By the people
For the people
Someone tell me
Who takes your civil rights away
Tyranny
Of the people
Never trust a snake
