We Will Fight
Why are they so devoid of common sense?
What arrogance to take us all for fools!
They think that they are safe behind their fence
And we’ll submit, without a fight, to rules
They choose to bind us with to pin us down,
Deny our right to make our own decision.
They listen to the city, not the town
And treat the country-dwellers with derision.
But what, through vanity, they fail to see
– their eyes and ears are high above the ground –
Is that the people (likes of you and me)
See what they don’t see, something more profound.
If we wake up we can tell wrong from right.
When pushed into a corner, we will fight.
