lyrics

[Verse 1]
Say educate, liberate from ignorance
Feign smile on face, truth disguise, eyes on prize

[Verse 2]
Say emancipate, set them free, democracy
But plain, plain to see, always end serving me

[Chorus]
Raise, raise your flag
Stake, stake your claim
Claim in the name of civilise
(don't forget about the gold!)

[Verse 3]
Say empower, agenda monetise
Manipulate heart and mind, believe the lie

[Repeat Chorus]
(don't forget about the oil!)

[Verse 4]
Say save their souls, name of God hide behind
Con confiscate sacred choice how to live

[Repeat Chorus]

[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
See blinkered eyes, imagine looking down
Convince yourself walk a moral higher ground

[Repeat Chorus]
(surely you don't really believe this?!)
