Increase The Pressure lyrics

they wanna get my arse in gear and make a contribution
if i don`t then i`m gonna feel the wrath of retribution
don`t wanna ask for `more`
a distraction to the door of freedom, liberty, rejection of their law

you revel in self-glory thinking the battle has been won
a product of your history but we can steal it from your sons
masked up and hooded we raise a clenched fist
state politics of hypocrites respond like terrorists
with a shot to the top this method will rock
sowing the seeds of discontent the structure will rot
light the fuse, stop the abuse
`round their neck they wear a tie but soon they`ll wear a noose
yes we have hunger
no place to shelter
keeping us in purdah
time to say `basta`

increase the pressure
reject the power

you sit on top of a mountain built on misery and suffering
your lofty throne will fall and heads will come down rolling
work the slave-driver, evict the landowner
the army`s coming to town to restore the bossman`s order
true colours now you show
your might want to stop the flow
the battle may be lost today
but the war we`ll win tomorrow
cos we are many and we are one
they stare into our eyes down the barrel of a gun
yes we have hunger
no place to shelter
living in purdah
witness to the murder
