Complain

We are good at moaning watching what goes on and tut tuting,
Shout at politians on the box as if this is some movie we are watching,
Yet we dont act saying thats terrible nowt to do with us though,
And it all continues as before killing people with impunity,
By saying lies of ancient promises while burning down olive boughs,
Belief in a god justifying evil actions blamed on an mythic book,
Look hard and research to discern what is true,go on,look,
Listen not to wicked elite even the poorest utter words of right,
Out there alternative communities exist showing love and light,
Boycott all that is wrong come together as one,
Complaint without action has no validity whatsoever.
