Rebel alliance,
She's dedicated to all her malcontents,
Still shooting her mouth off,
Don't ever stop,
Yo.
From the start to the end of this
We don't know where or what it is
That's driving us to doing this
I realize I run the risk
That sounded cynical 
But man it's a miracle
To make it through an interview
Without hearing political
Call it hypocritical 
Knock yourself out
Forgive us for the lack of love affairs that we sing 
about
If I'm making a statement by simply having a statement 
to make
Then give me permission to clarify our position
We can't expect a thing to change 'cause we said how
But I can't be the only one with eyes in my head now
Some things that pass me by (?)
Like seventy thousand people in Iraq are all dead now.
Well that's exactly what we should be ignoring
(?) 'Cause kids find all that kind of talk boring
Well alright wake me up if you've been hearing me 
snoring
There might be other places we've been waging a war in.

We'll take the world with a protest song
Tell me something that I don't know.
You can only clench your fists for so long
Tell me something that I don't know.
Turn 'em up, coming on too strong
Tell me something that I don't know.
But I think having a dream ain't wrong
Oh, I really think so

Wot? I only wanna set this straight
I'm not a communist because those issues are third rate
I'm not a fucking hippy 'cause they're racists that 
don't hate
I'm not a - easy tiger, we're in England, it's cool 
mate.
There's obviously something in your head that's been 
(?)
If you care about something then talk about it on that 
song
Well point taken, it's all been done before
There's no money in raggacore we shouldn't bother any 
more.

As far as I can see it's up to we to want to try to 
make
A kinda difference, a minor kinda give and take
And if I change my mind it's all I leave behind then 
great,
And you can carry on with writing all about it
What you wanna what you gotta never knock a mother 
fucker for trying
Especially when you make a whole career out of lying
About the world then don't fucking tempt me!
And if that's too political than to your MP.

We'll take the world with a protest song
Tell me something that I don't know.
You can only clench your fists for so long
Tell me something that I don't know.
Turn 'em up, coming on too strong
Tell me something that I don't know.
But I think having a dream ain't wrong
Oh, I really think so

We'll never turn away from having something to say upon 
the new rhyme
We'll never turn away from having something to say not 
in this lifetime
We'll never turn away from having something to say upon 
the new rhyme
Well this is Laila K, and we got something to say, and 
this is our time.
