Increase The Pressure Lyrics

Increase The Pressure lyrics

they wanna get my arse in gear and make a contribution 
if i don't then i'm
gonna feel the wrath of retribution 
don't wanna ask for 'more' 
a
distraction to the door of freedom, liberty, rejection of their law 

you
revel in self-glory thinking the battle has been won 
a product of your
history but we can steal it from your sons 
masked up and hooded we raise a
clenched fist 
state politics of hypocrites respond like terrorists 
with
a shot to the top this method will rock 
sowing the seeds of discontent the
structure will rot 
light the fuse, stop the abuse 
'round their neck
they wear a tie but soon they'll wear a noose 
yes we have hunger 
no
place to shelter 
keeping us in purdah 
time to say
'basta'

increase the pressure 
reject the power 

you sit on
top of a mountain built on misery and suffering 
your lofty throne will fall
and heads will come down rolling 
work the slave-driver, evict the landowner

the army's coming to town to restore the bossman's order 
true colours
now you show 
your might want to stop the flow 
the battle may be lost
today 
but the war we'll win tomorrow 
cos we are many and we are one

they stare into our eyes down the barrel of a gun 
yes we have hunger

no place to shelter 
living in purdah 
witness to the murder
