Shaking the Tree

SHAKING THE TREE
See it on the TV
Hear it on the news
It's no wonder
That we're always confused
The truth it counts for nothing
Keep your eye on the prize
They preach their own agenda
Till you swallow their lies
People in the powerhouse
Breaking the rules
System is corrupted
They treat us like fools
Time has come to make our voices heard
This war of words
You've gotta

Chorus
Stand up stand tall
Revolution's coming
Got to answer the call
You gotta rise up
To be free
You'll make a difference
If you're shakin' the tree

Brainwashed by the media
Screen tells us what's true
Don't need your opinion
'Cos they tell you what to do
These days the buck stops nowhere
No-one takes the blame
They say they love their country
But the money hides their shame
The climate's shot to pieces
Another forest burns
Somebody else's worry
It's just not our concern
It's not too late to turn this thing around
So stand your ground
You've gotta

Chorus

We can't give up
We can't give in
Make your voices heard
It's time to begin
A candle's light
Can shine so bright
As our voices join
To fight for what's right

It's not too late to turn this thing around
Stand your ground
You've gotta
