"Speak For Yourself" lyrics

(Speak for yourself
Speak for yourself
Speak for yourself
Speak for yourself)

I remember when they all came round
Politicians at the door say "vote for me"
I was over at the neighbours house
We were watching on a 90's TV
Left says right is wrong
And the right says left is weak
We should be strong
What's going on?

All the rich men make their money
Upon the broken backs of working class
And we're just the staff
Cos you catch more flies with honey
And the best thieves in the world don't need a mask
And they don't ask

So don't you speak for me
Don't put words in my mouth
Don't you ever preach cos we can see what you're about
We can see the guns and all the bombs
And all the reasons that you wage your righteous wars
You have been warned
You don't speak for me

I'm a cog inside a big machine
Kept busy by the things that we consume
We traded all the kings and queens
For CEO's in pinstripe suits
But as long as left hates right
They can sell us what they like
And we will pay the price
Cos they like us blind

So don't you speak for me
Don't put words in my mouth
Don't you ever preach cos we can see what you're about
We can see the guns and all the bombs
And all the reasons that you wage your righteous wars
You have been warned
You don't speak for me

(Speak for yourself)
Cos you don't speak for me
(Speak for yourself)

Cos the old men hate each other
So they send their young men off to die at war
But what's it for?
Do we need more grieving mothers
Of kids who'll never get to fall in love?
Enough's enough

So don't you speak for me
Don't put words in my mouth
Don't you ever preach cos we can see what you're about
Oh, we can see the guns and all the bombs
And all the reasons that you wage your righteous wars
You have been warned
You don't speak for me

(Speak for yourself)
Cos you don't speak for me
(Speak for yourself)
No, you don't speak for me
(Speak for yourself)
Cos you don't speak for me
(Speak for yourself)
Cos you don't speak for me
