    Lyrics
    To go out like vous - yesterday's news
    Go out like blue platform shoes
    Choose to go out like that

    A familiar, awful scene
    Self-fulfilling prophecy
    I won't buy it
    Never, ever - then or now

    Regrettably, we stand and watch and wait for the promised land
    Our fountain of youth will never blossom
    Meanwhile, the soft underbellies have been slit
    And we're left for dead - so fight instead

    I stop to tell myself
    black and white aren't the only ways to see
    I hesitate to tell myself it's true

    They do not own us
    We do not owe them (anything)

    Understandably, our disbelief has caught up with us
    A once-bright vision is now lightless and empty
    Of course we're angry, of course we're afraid
    And on-course we are to total self-destruction

    them:
    [What if they found out the basis of all religion? We must keep a lid on this. To control agriculture, monetary systems, fuel, and communications. Or we'll have to establish a police state to keep them at bay.]

    And you can count, on one hand, the number of us who can burn the crown
    -And you can count on one hand holding all of us down, underground

    Read between the lines
    We will decide for you.

    Just one hand holds all of us down.
