new model army
my country
Tell all the people who believe what they read in the press Tell all the folk who stare from behind suburban walls The enemy is not some nation far across the sea The enemy is with us every single breathing day Chorus: So yes, I will fight for my country The land that I love so well Yes - for justice, a land fit for all our futures Yes, I will fight for my country The land that I love so well Hear the voices of our history echo all around Fight all the ones who divide us rich against poor Fight all the ones who divide us white against black Fight all the powers who want their missiles in our earth Fight all the people who would lead us into war No rights were ever given to us by the grace of God No rights were ever given by some United Nations clause No rights were ever given by some nice guy at the top Our rights they were bought by all the blood And all the tears of all our Grandmothers, grandfathers before For all the folk who gave their lives for us For all the folk who spit out - never say die For all the fires burning on our highest hills For all the people spinning tales tonight Fight all the powers who would abuse our Common Laws.
