CHUMBAWAMBA “Liberation” (1985) lyrics

But we’re kept apart by philosophies
And moral stances and policies
We’ll be stuck in our own little ghettos forever
‘Til we start to work together
Together… Together… Together…
Together in the open or together in
our little heaven?
Fighting for total change, or working for concessions?
Do we take what is ours, or ask that it be given?
Are we stealing it together, or asking for permission?
Even though we disagree we share a common enemy
Our methods may not be the same
But together we can break the chain
Different aims, different means, with
common ground in between
Don’t sit back, it’s time to act
This life is ours, let’s snatch it back
Even though we disagree we share a common enemy
Our methods may not be the same
But together we can break the chain
Different aims, different means, with
common ground in between
Don’t sit back, it’s time to act
This life is ours, let’s snatch it back
The time has come to make a choice
Stop taking orders from His Master’s Voice!
