OPEN UP YOUR EYES
And take a walk with me through our world of selfish deeds,
Let me show you where I won’t give a damn about my neighbour,
Would I do you a favour? NOT ON YOUR LIFE
This place is rife with suspicion, it seems we’re on a mission,
To alienate ourselves,
No community, no unity gives us the opportunity to mistreat anyone.
ANYONE WE WANT

What about love and trust and care?
HELL NO! That’s not the way we do things round here.
Want it all for myself, I don’t wanna share
Listen, DON’T BE A DICK
Apathy should be a forgotten feeling
HELL NO! Can’t be bothered with that
And I’ll treat the world as my play thing,
And I don’t think I’m ever gonna change.

The way we live, the way we act, shows no consideration,
For the creatures, people and places that we know occupy our nation,
Continent, planet or solar system,
But the best we can do is abuse them,
It’s time for a change

It’s all about respect, a notion we reject,
It’s all about the respect,
Create a world we’d want to live in,
And push the greed to the kerb.

Whether it’s pushing the green in the punk rock scene,
Or making a purchase of a charity magazine,
We’ve all got to do our bit,
to stop our world DESCENDING INTO
Shame if we lost all we have, all we’ve built, all we’ve dreamed of,
As we know a few small deeds would be just what we need,
WOULD BE JUST WHAT WE NEED

It’s all about respect, A notion we reject, It’s all about the respect,
Create a world we’d want to live in, And push the greed to the kerb.
Create a world we’d want to live in, be vigilant fight back,
Get mutual, or get out!
