This Place

Being told to know your place

In a world that still discriminates race

This place

It's a fucking disgrace

The streets are lined with people with nowhere to go

there's no place they can call home

And we walk on past, leave them there alone

This place

It's a fucking disgrace

There's so much fucking corruption

I won't apologise for interrupting we can't keep causing this destruction

People in power denying that it's even happening

But it is, just look around you

We ain't fucking imagining

This place

It's a fucking disgrace

We march for change, for inequality and injustice

But honestly?

It won't make a difference if people don't have a moral compass

It's not a riot I wanna instigate

I just wanna illustrate

that we’re the cause of our appalling state

This place

It's a fucking disgrace

People all over the world, they're starving

The animals? We're fucking farming them, causing harm to them

We think it'll help if we make a donation

Or start another foundation

And we're all too busy thinking about our next vacation

To realise that we’re the only ones that can give the planet salvation

This place

It's a fucking disgrace

We sign another petition

But it's just an admission

Of our own guilt

Over the tears that have been shed, and the blood that has split

We can't live our lives in submission

Of the orders of yet another fucking corrupt politician

Because this place

It's a fucking disgrace
