Uptown I was wandering arund
Two coppers clocked me and said "Here's one for the pound"
I told them that I knew my rights and started to see red
They laughed and got their truncheons out and this is what they said
"We run things in this neighbourhood, and we don't fuck about, so you better be good
No firm is as big as ours and we show no pity
And from the hills to the coast, all the towns and cities
Are ruled by us with an iron grip
You march to our drum
And you live in our trip
We're the engines, mechanics
We've got the tools
This is the Animal Farm
We're the pigs
We rule"
(At home
At School
At work, in the streets
You will respect the authority and obey the rules
Just like everybody else)
"We rule"
One day down the dole, I was smelling something Funny
'Cause the bastards lording over me would not give me my money
When the power trip was obvious, malicios and low
And a hag with a computer said
"There's one thing you should know..."
"We run things in this neighbourhood
And we don't fuck about, so you better be good.
And no firm is as big as ours, and we show no pity
From the hills to the coast, all the towns and the cities
Are ruled by us with an iron grip
You march to are drum, and you live on our trip.
We're the engines, mechanics
We got the tools
This is Animal Farm
We're the pigs, we rule."
"Good morning jobseekers"
"We rule"
In the old oak forest I was having a good time
When a bastard in a hard hat came and said
"All this is mine!"
To build aTesco's carpart I said "I'll get in your way!"
As they beat me up and locked me up
All they could say was.
"We run things in this neighbourhood
And we don't fuck about, so you better be good
No firm is as big as ours, and we show no pity
And from the hills to the coast, all the towns and the Cities
Are ruled by us in an iron grip
You walk to our drum
You live in our trip
We're the engines, mechanics
We've got the tools
This is the Animal Farm
We're the pigs, we rule
"Now stop what you are doing"
"No"
"You've got to know that any citicens has the right to arrest another citizen who is breaking the law, now be told"
