7. How To Conquer
[E. Maguire]

How to conquer, how to blight
It takes one man to start a fight
We could end it and change the world
Today, a new day

They’ve got our minds
They’ve got our hearts
They turn day into the dark
Cos they want us scared
They want us meek
So they do anything they please

Some have nothing and that ain’t right
And their anger will start a fight
With the hundreds who rule us all
Today, a new day

They sell our parks
They sell our streets
Every forest, every sea
They know our lives
They know our stars
They know everything we are

All the hunger, all that pain
Could we ever just start again
See the wonder of it all
Today, a new day

They make it fast
They make it cheap
But it’s nothing that we need
They take our thoughts
And they take our deeds
They own everything we see

They’ve got our hands
They’ve got our face
They’ve got our feet
They’ve got our hopes
They’ve got our fears
They’ve got our dreams

They’ve got our minds
They’ve got our hearts
They’ve got our feet
They’ve got our hopes
They’ve got our fears
They’ve got our dreams
