Lyrics of Gandhi Mate, Gandhi by Enter Shikari
verse
Now I don't know about you
But I don't think the primary purpose of your life, of my life
And the entirety of the human race's is just to blindingly consume
To support a failing economy and a faulty system
Forever and ever until we run out of every resource
And have to resort to blowing each other up to ensure our own survival
I don't think we're supposed to sit by idle
While we continue to use a long outdated system that produces war
Poverty, collusion, corruption, ruins our environment
And threatens every aspect of our health
And does nothing but divide and segregate us
I don't think how much military equipment we're selling to other countries
How many hydrocarbons we're burning
How much money is being printed and exchanged
Is a good measure of how healthy our society is
But I do think I can speak for everyone when I say
We're sick of this shit
verse
Time to mobilise
Time to open eyes
We are not a quiet pocket of resistance
This is real and we cannot afford to fail
Act with, act with persistence
This is real and we cannot afford to fail
verse
I am the established order
Respect me and fear me
Fuck you, we hold no respect
And when tomorrow comes
We're gonna stamp on your head
verse
(Calm down, calm the fuck down)
(Gandhi mate, remember Gandhi)
verse
See if we keep them silent
Then they'll resort to violence
And that's how we criminalise change
verse
Yabba babba do one son
We don't want your rules
Who you fooling son, we got all the tools
We need to build a whole new system
To correct these flaws
"Yeh like what? I've already listed them"
You're a communist
You're a fucking utopianist
There come the emotive labels
But their attempt just fails
'Cause man, we're so far out your comfort zone
verse
We stop, think, begin to revive
We stop, think, begin to revive
We stop, we think, we begin to revive
We begin to revive
verse
Put the call out to the frontline
Get the message out to the contact squad
Transmit emergency frequencies
Put the call out to the frontline
Get the message out to the contact squad
Put the call out, put the call out, put the call out
outro
Oh, the jigsaw starts to build
Oh, the jigsaw starts to build
Piece by piece
Open their minds
Transmit emergency frequencies
Open their minds
Transmit emergency frequencies
Emergency frequencies
Emergency frequencies
Emergency frequencies
Emergency frequencies
