RACCOONS

We're raccoons we dumpster dive
Sometimes for fun sometimes to survive
No one needs to tell us why
The system's fucked we understand
It's all been planned it's all been rigged
They keep us down to keep us out
But no one thought that we would shout

No one thought that we would shout
No one thought that we would shout
No one thought that we would shout
No one thought that we would shout

Strangers passing by
Think they're better than us
Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong
In the end we all die

Strangers passing by
Think they're better than us
Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong
In the end we all die

We're the freaks that you avoid
Wondering the streets with bloodshot eyes
'cause we get no sleep, we get no rest
Still we can't help but wonder why
No one wants to see a change
& no one wants to save a tree
But we all know the system's fucked

We all know the system's fucked
We all know the system's fucked
We all know the system's fucked
We all know the system's fucked

Strangers passing by
Think they're better than us
Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong
In the end we all die

Strangers passing by
Think they're better than us
Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong
In the end we all die

Strangers passing by
Think they're better than us
Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong
In the end we all die

Strangers passing by
Think they're better than us
Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong
In the end we all die

THE SINISTER PRIME MINISTER & A TROLL NAMED FART

In a land not too far away, in a time not long ago
A witch took power of an island with a dark magic loophole
The Sinister Prime Minister was an egomaniac
Surrounded by her crony crows, the sky it turned pitch black

Across the sea in another land lived an evil troll named Fart
Whose greed & lust compelled him from his tower to depart
His lungs breathed forth a toxic cloud, he spewed hot air with force
Now up is down & wrong is right & bigotry's endorsed.

So rise people rise raise your fists up to the skies
If we all rise together then they can't ignore our cries

The troll he turned his big white house into a circus tent
His sycophants raised spider flags, he denied all consequence
He'd thrown out all his detractors, his comrades all left town
Because no one likes a circus where the only act is clowns

The witch she was cold blooded & her power fuelled by gold
She clad the poor in heartache tightening her stranglehold
Their homes! Their lives! Their human rights! She set them all aglow
We need a parliament of owls, not this murder of crows

So rise people rise raise your fists up to the skies
If we all rise together then they can't ignore our cries

& stride people stride they won't conquer, can't divide
If we all march with purpose, then we can march with pride

Behind the scenes that Murdoch fox pulled on his puppet strings
The troll crossed seas & oceans, met the witch for revelings
He put his tiny hand in hers they skipped through fields of wheat
Fart tweeted with the crows while the fox smiled & bared his teeth

So rise people rise raise your fists up to the skies
If we all rise together then they can't ignore our cries

& stride people stride they won't conquer, can't divide
If we all march with purpose, then we can march with pride

Shout people shout tell them we know what they're about
Blow harder than the blowhards we can blow their smokescreens out

The monsters in this tail are more real than I can wish
They want you to think happy endings are only for the rich
Well fuck 'em
They can try to take our rights away but they can't take our voice
So sing it loud & sing it proud
Rise! Stride! Shout! Sing!
Rejoice

So rise people rise raise your fists up to the skies
If we all rise together then they can't ignore our cries

& stride people stride they won't conquer, can't divide
If we all march with purpose, then we can march with pride

Shout people shout tell them we know what they're about
Blow harder than the blowhards we can blow their smokescreens out

Sing people sing let your voices ring
When we all sing together we can do anything

Yes when we all sing together we can accomplish anthing

When we sing for each other the sound is breathtaking
