Asian Dub Foundation - Stealing the Future

Hands up if you're a citizen of nowhere
And you're not scared
It's not a yes or no answer
Be prepared
Cos they're stealing the future
Stealing the Future

They stole the future right from under our nose
They stole the future and still nobody knows

Stole the future while we looked the other way
Now we're heading for darker days
They stole the future shouting louder than us

They stole the future we forgot who to trust
They stole the future and they left us in the dust
Dis is a bust

They walk all over the dreamers
They messin up true believers
Went all out to deceive us
Got sent to the cleaners
Jesus

Self Deception
Up the tension
So many Hate crime to mention
Spread infection disconnection

B to the R to the E to the X
To the I to the T Why didn't you guess
L to the E to the A to the vet was a con job
Here come the mess
B to the R to the E to the X
To the I to the T No Amnesty
L to the E to the A to the vee
Dis fallacy
Is a travesty

They stole the future right from under our nose
They stole the future and still nobody knows

Stole the future while we looked the other way
Now we're heading for darker days

They stole the future shouting louder than us

They stole the future we forgot who to trust
They stole the future and they left us in the dust
Dis is a bust

Go Home” on the poster
Cos everyone here is a foreigner
Black or brown conspirator
They divide and they conquer
Still we're sisters brothers
Still in a fight together
Short on hope but it still exists
You know we must resist

Hands up if you're a citizen of nowhere
And you're not scared
It's not a yes or no answer
Be prepared
Cos they're stealing the future
You stole the future
We saw you in the past

Bright lights so blinding you can never see the signs
A 3 D printer coming to fax up yer mind

Billions of people gonna be put out of work
Machines taking over leaving us in the dirt
Drones swooping down gonna tape up yr mouth
Today is nearly done but tomorrow's gone South
We gotta reclaim the future
We gotta reclaim the future

NOW!!!

Hands up if you're a citizen of nowhere
And you're not scared
It's not a yes or no answer
Be prepared
Cos they're stealing the future
Stealing the Future
