I’ve got a name & I’ve been given a number
Been pushed to the ground
So I’m going under
Don’t want to live from day to day on mere pittance
They’ve taken my life & given me an existence

Taken life & given existance
You take my life
You couldn’t take anymore

Could live in peace
But they won't let us
Could live with freedom
But they just can’t see
Our days are numbered
But they don’t have to be
They’ve taken everything - now they’d kill us
Taken life & given existance
You take my life
You couldn’t take anymore

Raped of everything apart from our dignity
We stand not alone in our strive for equality
As resistance grows & your orders are refused
Take a look around
Used, abused, unamused

Taken life & given existance
You take my life
You couldn’t take anymore

Let’s think of a new way
