Fanfare for the Conscious Man - Enter Shikari

Each nation used to provide its country with security

With factories providing arms for their country

Now multi-national companies compete in the arms trade

To serve any customer maximizing the money to be made

So just as farms compete to provide fruit for other countries

So people can live to enjoy the taste of nature

National warehouses compete to provide arms

Around the world to aid death and all hell unfurled

Our gracious queen should grasp her crown

And take a good fucking swing at Blair and Brown

For leading her country into illegal warfare

And trying to pass it off that we’re doing it 'cause we care

«Now preemptive wars are a redemptive cause»

I’ve never heard such nonsense under international laws

We think we have the right to enforce democracy

When we’re weakening ours everyday, what a hypocrisy

We’ll be together against this!

We’ll be forever against this!

We’ll be together against this!

We’ll be forever against this!

Fuck, man

I just woke up to a land where killing is part of every day

And every mind of this intelligent species

Is led blinded into the battlefield

Like it’s natural for us to break instead of build

Unity’s intrinsic, the only cause worth fighting for

All religions, colours, and creeds

Now we are the world and we are the people

We are the world and we are the people

And we will be heard

We’ll be together against this!

We’ll be forever against this!

We’ll be together against this!

We’ll be forever against this!

We’ll be together against this!

We’ll be forever against this!

We’ll be together against this!

We’ll be forever against this!
