Labour day and another show of state brutality
A preemptive strike that killed the dialog and sanity
What's some broken windows and slogans smeared against hate
To an eye lost to rubber bullets of an impotent state

But we all
Will stand up for more love in this world
Stand up for more love in this world
Stand up for more love in this world
Stand up for love

It's not easy, these are complicated times we live in
No simple answers, no clever four letter rhymes to sing in
The state must be trustworthy and answer to it's citizens
And work for prosperity and health for all, not just the businessmen

We all need compassion we need empathy and truth
We must look out for the old, the sick, the poor, the youth
So let us march together for peace love and harmony

Calling the police stupid, is much to simple to be true
The chief's to blame, education's the game, for justice to come through
They're just human but it's nobody's job to be an arsehole
But an eye for an eye just sends the hate-spiral out of control
