Brexited, Toried and Lockdowned
Taxed up, mortgaged and broke
Down-out, down-beat, down-trodden
It has to be time for a change

If they have no bread
Marie-Antoinette said
Then let them all eat cake
But the oppressed people said
We'd rather be dead
We can't take any more of this ache

So the people protest
Cried off with her head!
We refuse to be phony and fake
We've been taken for plebs
And left underfed
Too late have we seen our mistake

We've believed them
We've been conned
We've been lied to
We've been wronged
We've been lied to
And denied too
And we're still being told to eat cake

So it's time for a change
Raise your voice to the air
It's time for a change
Revolution is here
This is our song
Our rights unexpressed
We've been silent too long
Lost our dreams and our songs
We've been silent for too long
Don't know where we belong
This is our song - revolution is set
For the festival of the oppressed

Ooh ooh ooh

Still have no bread
Still lied to instead
Still being told to eat cake
Let's all watch Bake Off
While we're being laid off
To numb and silence our ache

We've believed them
We've been conned
We've been lied to
We've been wronged
We've been lied to
And denied too
And we're still being told to eat cake

Trussed up, Faraged and Johnsoned
Putin-Netanyahu'd and Trumped
We're down-out, down-beat, down-trodden
It has to be time for a change
Brexited, Toried and Lockdowned
Taxed up, mortgaged and broke
Down-out, down-beat, down-trodden
It has to be time for a change

So it's time for a change
Raise your voice to the air
It's time for a change
Revolution is here
This is our song
Our rights now expressed
There's power in our voice
There's strength in our words
When the whole world is silent
Our voice must be heard
This is our song - revolution is set
So it's time for a change
Raise your voice to the air
It's time for a change
Revolution is here
This is our song
Our rights now expressed
There's power in our voice
There's strength in our words
When the whole world is silent
Our voice must be heard
This is our song - revolution is set
For the festival of the oppressed

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
