Intro
Uh
Deep in the numbers
Watch the soul of the soil slip away
Yeah
Check the blueprint
Verse 1
Concrete castles rise for the ten percent
While millions trade their hunger for the government rent
We ignore the North and the East
But we ship the gold to the South to feed the beast
Abysmal numbers hide in the gloss
The human cost is the ultimate loss
Degrees don't mean knowledge when the system is thin
Credentials won't cover up where we've been
Pre-Chorus
Look at the tag on your chest
Look at the lines in the West
We sold a dream on a loan
But we can't even stitch what we own
Chorus
Give us the shirts made on our home ground
Give us a structure where the truth is found
No more fantasy
No more ivory
Five sectors to build it right
Bring the bottom fifty back to the light
Bring the light
Bring the light
Drop
Build it right
Back to the light
Verse 2
Zone after zone
The SEZ plans were clownish and bone dry
Failed attempts at a miracle
Labor laws died while the policy felt lyrical
Bangladesh stitches the thread of the masses
While we keep looking through shattered glasses
Seven percent of the world is the goal
But two percent is a weight on the soul
Move the labor
Build the mind
Leave the handouts far behind
Pre-Chorus
Look at the tag on your chest
Look at the lines in the West
We sold a dream on a loan
But we can't even stitch what we own
Chorus
Give us the shirts made on our home ground
Give us a structure where the truth is found
No more fantasy
No more ivory
Five sectors to build it right
Bring the bottom fifty back to the light
Bring the light
Bring the light
Drop
Build it right
Bring the light
Bridge
Skills come from learning
Earning comes from doing
Agriculture
Housing
Health
We need more than performance wealth
True planning
Deep vision
A life beyond the handouts and the cold precision
Chorus
Give us the shirts made on our home ground
Give us a structure where the truth is found
No more fantasy
No more ivory
Five sectors to build it right
Bring the bottom fifty back to the light
Bring the light
Bring the light
Drop
Build it right
Back to the light
Build it right
Back to the light
