lyrics

their boots ring out
they’re coming now
to claim their gold
they’ll take it all
your house your home
all that you own for
those bills you owe
and now you can’t afford to live at all

landlord’s raising my rent
employers aren’t raising my wages
my safety net’s been worn through in so many places
we try to live our lives
but we don’t have the riches
we try to heal ourselves
but the government just cuts at the stitches

we’ve been living like this for years

landlord’s raising my rent
employers aren’t raising my wages
my safety net’s been torn through in so many places
we try to fix our lives
but we don’t have the riches
we try to heal ourselves
but the government just cuts at the stitches

we’ve been dying like this for years

can you hear them coming
boots ringing out
can you see them coming
sirens flashing out
they want it all
can you hear them coming
boots ringing out
can you see them coming
smoke rising up
they’ll take it all
the boots ringing out
the smoke rising
let’s tear them down
but when you complain
all they tell you is take it take it
when you complain all they say is take it take it
let’s tear them down from their riches and thrones

we work til we bleed
we work til we die
for rich men who didn’t have to work for anything
for rulers who never had to work for anything
let’s tear them down

but when we complain
all they say is take it take it
