lyrics

Never agree and never concede
Never agree and never concede
Never agree and never concede
If you never see those changes

Getting all the land
Spending what we can
Never know the face of the man
Who controls the plan
And never know the plan at all

People seem to me
To think that they’re free
Never separating want from need
More afraid of refugees
Than of corporate greed

And all of these people, so desperately
They are vying for places in a society that fails them
It systematically -

Cause it’s too big to fail
On exactly what scale?
Cause there’s so many people
And they are living in hell
And the road has been paved by
Those people who we cheered for

Never agree and never concede
Never agree and never concede
Never agree and never concede
If you never see those changes

Not seeming to be thinking consciously
Just focus on your individuality
But your ignorance concedes your complicity
Your planet's in pain and the ones who proclaim
Infinite gain - they wont feel the rain right away
But the shame gonna come and claim them
When they try to explain
Why the delay
Making those changes
Well well when we gonna change

I'm asking when we gonna change?

Your planet's in pain
Your planet's in pain
If it was your mamma
Would you do the same?
Well baby that ain't rain falling down your face
That's your mamma crying out your name
Asking when you gonna change?
