lyrics

Hold it up you gotta
Hold it up you gotta
Hold it up you gotta
Touch my Soul
(Repeat x4)

Some people don't find it plain
To do the same shit three times a day
And I say you don't know what the world will bring
An 'orta lotta' money for the kings and queens
And I sing for the city to touch my soul
Sing for a city that's lost on gold
And a hold of this old life long dream
Where the people come together in harmony and sing

Hold it up you gotta
Hold it up you gotta
Hold it up you gotta
Touch my Soul
(Repeat x4)

We’re like a fat king, our throne made of iron ore
Find some more dinosaur spinal chord to drive the Porsche
Deprive the poor, seeking scraps from our table
Sort the facts from the fables and you act to enable
The rat’s in the stables, better inform the workhorses
Abbott’s in your ministry, thieving from the church paupers
Remorseless, with silver spoon and golden cup
Man, that cutlery is rusted deep- we need to hold it up!
So feel the rhythm, the city pumps its own groove
Wealth breeds unreasonable consumption, like home-brew
A throne room for Colin, of solid gold from mined earth
Stolen for the high-birthed of narrow mind and wide girth
The cabinet’s shrinking ’til it fits in Rupert’s pocket
And the press is just a puppet, but there’s nothing much to stop it
Im off it. Free speech needs apostles
The tongue forms the vowels and the heart beats the gospel

So many people were running around the city
What a pity that their inner mind climb had no time
And they broke down and they fell down with no sound
No place to go now stuck in the same crowd
(Repeat x2)

Let's break it up a little take the bass and bake the middle
Create a pastry paradiddle now we're tasting riddles
Reel in a little Ritalin lace up your mind's decision
But always listen to your doctor or trusty physician
Give in a little to the rhythm feel your heart still beating
Why are you rooting for a phoney Abbott abolition
We're in the vision of a coalition prison
Money grabbing acquisitions
Bleed the land and breath emissions

Hold it up you gotta
Hold it up you gotta
Hold it up you gotta
Touch my Soul
(Repeat x8)
