We want your homes, we want your lives We want the things you won’t allow us We won’t use guns, we won’t use bombs We’ll use the one thing we’ve got more of That’s our minds

Jarvis Cocker

Misshapes, mistakes, misfits Raised on a diet of broken biscuits, oh We don’t look the same as you And we don’t do the things you do But we live around here, too, oh really

Misshapes, mistakes, misfits We’d like to go to town but we can’t risk it, oh ‘Cause they just wanna keep us out You could end up with a smack in the mouth Just for standing out, now, really

Brothers, sisters, can’t you see? The future’s owned by you and me There won’t be fighting in the street They think they’ve got us beat But revenge is going to be so sweet, oh-oh-oh

We’re making a move, we’re making it now We’re coming out of the sidelines Just put your hands up, it’s a raid, yeah We want your homes, we want your lives We want the things you won’t allow us We won’t use guns, we won’t use bombs We’ll use the one thing we’ve got more of That’s our minds

Check your lucky numbers That much money could drag you under, oh What’s the point in being rich If you can’t think what to do with it? ‘Cause you’re so bleeding thick

Oh, we weren’t supposed to be We learnt too much at school Now we can’t help but see That the future that you’ve got mapped out Is nothing much to shout about, oh-oh-oh

We’re making a move, we’re making it now We’re coming out of the sidelines Just put your hands up, it’s a raid, yeah We want your homes, we want your lives We want the things you won’t allow us We won’t use guns, we won’t use bombs We’ll use the one thing we’ve got more of That’s our minds

And brothers, sisters, can’t you see? The future’s owned by you and me There won’t be fighting in the street They think they’ve got us beat But revenge is gonna be so sweet We’re making a move, we’re making it now We’re coming out of the sidelines Just put your hands up, it’s a raid, yeah We want your homes, we want your lives We want the things you won’t allow us We won’t use guns, we won’t use bombs We’ll use the one thing we’ve got more of That’s our minds, yeah And that’s our minds, yeah
