The world is made like this. We the people rise up against a ruling class, disconnected, contemptuous, haughty and privileged by its position. We are all nothing, but we are ... real.
lyrics
We look like criminals, some dirty animals
We are the targets to shoot down
We are miserable, so despicable
We are hobos from out of town
See kingdom as it falls
Some dirty place with no soul
That’s how you describe us now
Our crime is just be born
The place we are from
How delightful to spit on the crowd
We are the plague to your eyes
We say nothing but lies
We’re always guilty for what is wrong
There’s no more place to hide
We’re gathered as a tribe
We have been silent for too long
And we say hey
We committed no crime, our bodies are shaped to fight
And we say hey
We’re standing here, like a phoenix we will rise
We’re nothing but…
We’re nothing but real
So tell me how you deal, how you feel
Now that the riot is real
Now that we’re out of the woods?
As you are devastated, how sophisticated
You would treat us like odd fools
Our turn to be the hunters, the puppet masters
You can no longer conceal the truth
Such as meaningless cowards
You can count the hours
Cos you’ll never forget
We never will.
