Lyrics

[Verse 1] If you're a workin' class woman If you're socialist, unemployed or black If you support redistribution of wealth We're under Attack-Attack-Attack From this system's new right Who worship power and might Who wanta' purge the pinks An' anyone who thinks [Chorus] "Be born, be silent, consume and die" We can shatter this cycle If we collectively try Attack-Attack-Attack fight back [Verse 2] We gotta go through the window The new rights locked the door Like an expo landlord They keep the powerless poor We pay our P-A-Y-E taxes So the elite and the yuppie D-I-N-K-S Can drink champagne, eat caviar See how they think? [Chorus] "Be born, be silent, consume and die" We can shatter this cycle If we collectively try Attack-Attack-Attack fight back [Verse 3] It's easy to see What the new right's doin' Control our destiny An' collapse our Unions Privatise our existence Abolish our free medical centres Control every door through which we must enter Under the old guise to: Rationalise, objectivise, privatise, fantasise, harmonise, economise, democratise All new right lies Iron out the kinks [Chorus] "Be born, be silent, consume and die" We can shatter this cycle If we collectively try Attack-Attack-Attack fight back [Verse 4] Well they want to celebrate Their invasion of 1788 The whiplash on each convict's back The theft of our land from each black woman and man Power is their passion Their sexist, racist system stinks They seek to celebrate subjugation And their imperialist colonial links [Chorus] "Be born, be silent, consume and die" We can shatter this cycle If we collectively try Attack-Attack-Attack fight back
