We told you so they say
we couldn't see it going any other way
real life isn't a game you can play and win
there's no participation prize
they say with a look of glee in their eyes
never caring that it was all lies that they voted for
But it's time to steel our hearts
Because this world it can be tough
And it's going to get tougher
Before we're out the other side
So hold your loved ones close
And look after one another
And don't forget to keep the end in sight
Because it's more important to do right than the be right
it must be true, you see?
I saw him say it on the TV
he wouldn't lie to likes of me
and maybe you
and when we're finally gone
and I can vote for who makes my decisions
no I don't care where the money came from
or their motives
But it's time to steel our hearts
Because this world it can be tough
And it's going to get tougher
Before we're out the other side
So hold your loved ones close
And look after one another
And don't forget to keep the end in sight
Because it's more important to do right than the be right
with empty words and catchy slogans
we won't get anything done
don't expect real change to come from these parasites
and when it all falls down
and you lift your head to look around
there will be no-one to be found to pin the blame on
and you can look for me
you'll find me with you family
we'll be helping those in real need where we can
and if you find that that is you
well I'll do my best to help you too
because it's the right thing to do for your neighbour
But it's time to steel our hearts
Because this world it can be tough
And it's going to get tougher
Before we're out the other side
So hold your loved ones close
And look after one another
And don't forget to keep the end in sight
Because it's more important to do right than the be right
Than the be right
Than the be right
Than the be right
