Fuel for The Tank ©

Verse 1

It's been this way in every country, throughout history

Facing their wrath and all the pain, it's not a mystery

Under a tyrant's sword and the henchman's boot

Every win or loss another rich man's gain

An endless quest for wealth and power is the pursuit

Stomping us down again with great disdain

Under a false god's banner, one more corrupt leader

In the name of all that's vain, still planting the seed, ah.

Every crime and crusade, our labour, it's all stolen

Robbed slowly of our freedom, we're held down and beholden

All the bosses and the bankers, those wankers never play fair

They were never gonna give any share

Chorus

But who will make a stand?

Why are ye pretending everything is fine?

Why's it so hard to understand?

They do the same thing every fucking time!

We're still out there working hard puttin' fuel in their tank

Whilst they keep yankin' yer chain

Fightin' their wars or buildin' their Bank

All for their selfish fucking gain!

But, tell me,son! Are ye gonna make yer stand?

Verse

History still marches on, yet still nothing has changed

As the poor were growing poorer, the ones in power gained

Still we continue to fight one another, as we share a single fate

Whilst the fat cats all laugh, casting their rods, we all take the bait

Every crime and crusade, our labour, it's all stolen

Robbed slowly of our freedom, we're held down and beholden

All the bosses and the bankers, those wankers never play fair

They were never gonna give ye their share

Chorus

But who will make their stand?

Why are ye still pretending everything is fine

Why's it so hard to understand?

They do the same thing every fucking time!

Yer workin' yer arse off just to fuel their tank

Whilst they're yanking the chain

Meanwhile we're fightin' their wars and buildin' their Bank

All to fuel their selfish gain

So, tell me, son. Are ye gonna make a stand?

If history teaches us one thing

You should know ye don't always have to "kiss the ring"

Chorus

So will ye make a stand?

Stop pretending everything is fine

Now do ye finally understand?

Cos they keep doing it every fucking time!

Yer blood and sweat just fuels their tank

And all they do is yank the chain

Fightin' the wars and buildin' their Bank

All fer their selfish feckin' gain

So, tell me, will ye make that stand?

Is it now time to make yer stand?
