lyrics

When the essential working class
Becomes a thing of the past
They will be judged relentlessly
By their dismissal of humanity
When the essential working class
Becomes a thing of the past
They will be judged relentlessly
By their dismissal of humanity

It's been bearing down on us
The weight of this injustice
And even gravity can't deny how long it's
Been hiding the sky
It's been bearing down on us
The weight of feeling powerless
Like being caught in a looping scream
As we kneel down in the streets

When the essential working class
Becomes a thing of the past
They will be judged relentlessly
By their dismissal of humanity
When the essential working class
Becomes a thing of the past
They will be judged relentlessly
By their dismissal of humanity

What's more seductive than space to invade?
The final frontier of the mess that they've made
When did the children become the fucking front line?
In the light of the flashbangs soaking the roses
I am no longer asking to take what is mine
We were raised with our backs against the wall
So we know what it means to have a spine

When the essential working class
Becomes a thing of the past
They will be judged relentlessly
By their dismissal of humanity
When the essential working class
Becomes a thing of the past
They will be judged relentlessly
By their dismissal of humanity

We're the essential working class
We toss the tear gas right fucking back
Fuck around, wait and see
We won't be going quietly
We're the essential working class
We toss the tear gas right fucking back
Fuck around, wait and see
We won't be going quietly
