Rise 歌詞

They’re turning out the lights in good old London town Destroying all our memories look hard they are still around All grown up and gentrified but still built up on lies Our history been kicked aside replaced by higher rise Steel and glass predominate this urban gentrify Ripped the very heart out city life about to die Killing off our culture this government deny Those born and bred priced out instead they struggle to survive We don’t need no gentrification We all live here after all I've seen the writing on the wall That this city’s about to fall, fall, fall, fall Rise rise rise up for me tonight All gentrified and formalised Its heart ripped from the core Turned out the lights but kept the sights The tourists clamour for They’re building for the sake of it Fills bankers pockets more And they’re killing London’s culture Like they never have before Approved the demolition but you'll never take us down Took a feather from old mother cap but you will never steal her crown You’ve lied to so many times but we are organised This is our day of reckoning together we're unified Steel and glass predominate this urban gentrify Ripped the very heart out city life about to die Killing off our culture this government deny Those born and bred priced out instead they struggle to survive We don’t need no gentrification We all live here after all I’ve seen the writing on the wall That this city’s about to fall, fall, fall, fall Rise rise rise up for me tonight All gentrified and formalised Its heart ripped from the core Turned out the lights but kept the sights The tourists clamour for They’re building for the sake of it Fills bankers pockets more And they’re killing londons culture Like they never have before We don’t need no gentrification Cos we are people, not experimentation Rise rise rise up for me tonight Rise watch everybody rise They tell us fucking lies Watch everybody rise We don’t need no Gentrification
