We have been fooled we have been deceived
Our ancient values have been trampled out
We have been moved on and disbelieved
Looked at in horror if we dare to shout

Give us the strength to hold on
To what we were forced to let go
Give us the strength to recognise
And say no, no, no, no
And say no, no, no, no, no, no, no

We have been bought and we have been sold
Our brightest lights have been chased away
Been forced to trade the good for gold
Looked at in horror if we dare to say

Give us the strength to hold on
To what we were forced to let go
Give us the strength to recognise
And say no, no, no, no
And say no, no, no, no, no, no, no

A sense of urgency is at our heel
It's something that we simply can't ignore
The desperation that so many feel
It's something we won't hold with any more
Give us the strength to hold on
To what we were forced to let go
Give us the strength to recognise
And say no, no, no, no
And say no, no, no, no, no, no, no
