lyrics

They got money but they never worked a railway line
They got money but they never drove a bus
They got money but they never worked a hospital
They got money but all of that was us

So if you feel intimidated by a higher power
Just stop what you're doing and right within the hour
You'll see the power that we got
Is we can make the world stop
We can make the world stop and start again
We can make the world stop
We can make the world stop and start again

They make laws but their laws have never dug for coal
They make laws but have never cleaned a school
They make laws but their laws have never worked the land
They make laws but hey that was me and you

So if you feel intimidated by a higher power
Just stop what you're doing and right within the hour
You'll see the power that we got
Is we can make the world stop
We can make the world stop and start again
We can make the world stop
We can make the world stop and start again

We bloody well should
We bloody well should
We bloody well should

Every power that they hold
Every law or block of gold
Every policeman, every jail
Is guaranteed to fail
Everything that they demand
Is a powerless command
Unless we obey
Do what they say
But if we say no way

Is we can make the world stop
We can make the world stop and start again
We can make the world stop
We can make the world stop and start again
