It has been said what works best,
lies in the ideas of our past;
and all the dreams we've always had
will always work, will always last.

That's fine for them, they're at a peak
they do not care what happens next week.
New thoughts and ideas, they're always scorned,
get ready now, you have been warned.

In the streets we hide and cower;
they grow fat, and abuse OUR power.
What we've got to do is plain as day,
and that's SPEAK UP NOW, in every way.

We must look east, to the dawning light
make our plans, and do what's right.
they've had their fun, they've had their way,
now's the time to have OUR say.

Dry your tears from all THEIR sorrow,
a new day's comin', a bright new tomorrow.
