  • People on the left
    People on the right
    Got a lion inside
    People of the pride
    Let's go

    There's a man who swears he's God
    Unbelievers will be shot
    There's a man who walks around
    Like he owns the fucking lot
    There's a man who takes his time
    From his homemade cuckoo clock
    And he makes us march around it
    Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

    There's a crocodile cross-eyed
    There's a turning of the tide
    We're no longer gonna fight for
    Some old crook and all his crimes
    There's a sewing up of rags
    Into revolution flags
    Got to stand up to be counted
    Be an anthem for your times
    It's just work

    It's just work, it's not easy
    And we could all be blown apart
    And Heaven is the fire escape
    You try to cling to in the dark

    It's just work, believe me
    Still my beating heart
    We'll all be free to fall in love
    With who we want and say
    Yeah (yeah)
    Yeah (yeah), ooh-ooh
    Yeah (yeah)
    People of the pride
