It's time to break free from
improperty
There's nowhere left to go
There's a lot of people hungry
on the streets tonight
Plenty of folk huddled
round a firelight
They're living in the shadows,
the houses getting fewer
Boarding up the old ones and
pricing out the newer
There's a lot of people
standing in line tonight
Families freezing by the candlelight
Living in the damp, the children looking older,
the beds are getting mouldy and the coals are getting colder
It's time to break free from
improperty
Nowhere left to go
Someone set us free
Cos the rent is killing me
And the place that I call home
There's a lot of people pulling
up floorboards tonight
They're just trying to keep the fire alive
Cos living is a trial and the
battle's getting harder
Kids are crying hungry and there's
nothing in the larder
There's a lot of people who
haven't got much money tonight
A lot of people want to start a fire fight
Cos the rich man's getting fatter
and no one seems to matter
Power and lies, the gift is marginalised
It's time to break free
from improperty
Cos there's nowhere left to go
Won't someone set us free
from austerity
There's nowhere to call home
