The People

from Rise and Fall by Connor Holland

about

A track from the Rise and Fall album. All spoken words are visions of truth throughout the United Kingdom, and possibly many other places in the vast world we live in. Enjoy the track is all I could really ever say.

lyrics

-Intro-

-Verse 1-
I wanna spit some knowledge, fulfil all my promises/
give politics to the communists, dictators and the lot of it/
their policies are problems, they leave themselves to rot in it/
their genocides are recognised by all the global parliaments/
Armenia, Somalia, Rwanda and the Holocaust/
Pakistan and Latvia, Holodomor and Ottoman/
It's all human destruction, these aren't even half of 'em/
I'd call a hundred more but it seems like my heart is done/
One in four, children in Great Britain live in poverty, these figures should be lower and you're asking what is wrong with me?/
And every three minutes, a kid is reported missing/
probably just like us just, living on dreams and wishes/
but the world becomes more evil, day by day, the people that we speak to turn different in a way/
These are your best friends, and your worst enemies so we should fight the war or hurry for a remedy/

-Hook-

-Verse 2-
I wanna help you through it be a voice to the people/
'Cause people are real and I'm proud to believe in 'em/
Five thousand Ebola deaths in just a year, I don't blame them for running 'cause they're running from their fears/
More soldiers killed themselves after the Vietnam war/
Than what actually died in it my eyes are getting sore/
I'm falling to my demise and them I'm rising to my fall/
I'm just down to Earth, and I'm below the surface/
Know that every person on the planet serves a purpose/
So nobody should die for oil, or sacrifice their lives/
We should be one family instead we hide behind the lies/
We're all the same, we all spoke Latin once/
Now we've gone from using spears, to having guns/
From horses to having tanks, where's the hero of the land?/
Knowledge is power, power is authority/
Life is just, a game of Monopoly/

-Outro-
