Lyrics
A protest song for the next generation, An anthem for the new revolution. We'll shout loud enough so God can hear us, all those that oppose can sit and jeer us. Nothing to do but take the strain, we'll go round this way again. Play the gaps between the notes Make some waves and rock some boats Together --- Push us, shove us, knock us about; we ain't giving in 'cause we've got clout. If you don't care or you don't mind, be content to be robbed blind. There's so much more to this our lives, than what's served up in media pies. Play the gaps between the notes Make some waves and rock some boats Together --- Authority needs its alibis, all dressed up by spin and lies Wise up now don't be mediocre Don't be spoon fed by the corporate broker. A protest song for the next generation, An anthem for the new revolution. We'll shout loud enough so God can hear us, all those that oppose can sit and jeer us. Nothing to do but take the strain, we'll go round this way again. Play the gaps between the notes Make some waves and rock some boats Together ---
