about

'This Is What You Asked For' was written about the class of billionaires, bosses, owners and opportunists who claim that we cannot have dignity and justice as it is 'too expensive' and that 'it's too soon'. It a song against those who profit from a system that enriches too few and immesirates too many; who would rather see us turn on each other than build a new world. We live in the world this class of people have made - with its inequality, crises and upheaval - and they must lie in the bed they have made.

lyrics

You say you want war
You say you want war
This is what you asked for

All against all
All against all
This is what you asked for

And all your riches
And all your rents can't
Keep us out

And all your titles
And all your trinkets can't
Keep you safe

And all your excuses
That you call ideas can't
Keep us out

What you reap
Is what you sew
And what we eat
Is what you've grown

This is what you asked for

And all your garlands
And all your guard dogs can't
Keep us out

And all your trespass
And all your tithes can't
Keep you safe

And all of your wisdom
That builds all your walls can't
Keep us out

It's coming
It's coming now
