CHORUS.
I don't wanna get political but its the principal
there ain't enough of us filling in the forms
and its so far from difficult (it doesn't have to be this way, this way)
Some don't know what a census is
some do but they cant see the scene in it
just remember this if minorities dont fill in the forms
whats the point in living in Britain at all
there ain't nothing worse than being invisible
But we can change that asap
its digital times were living in
so you can do it online and it wont even take a long time
the government have got a lot of money coming in
so if you pay tax in the long run you can benefit
yeah, i reckon its pay back
and if i have to be the voice for the people
then im a make noise till im equal
to anyone sitting in parliament
a poisonous needle couldn't put me on hold
I look beyond home
so im a spokesman for this whole thing
CHORUS.
I don't wanna get political but its the principal
there ain't enough of us filling in the forms
and its so far from difficult (it doesn't have to be this way, this way)
This is a campaign for a dam change
stand up and be counted its our day
I know 2,11 seems far away
but its nearer than you think
so lets start today
theres a lot of history we cant erase
the last census we hardly paid
any attention to thats our mistake
one of many we can learn from lets start again
its up to me its up to you its up to us
we can have a say in what the Government does
and if we cant then the Governments fftt
at least 15% of the population
are ethnic minorities
and most of us feel like the government aint doing nothing for us
but now we got a chance to put them to the test
so fill out the forms and keep and keep pushing for the best
CHORUS. x2
