"The Killing Of Corbynism" lyrics
(feat. Mai Khalil)
[Mai Khalil:]
We didn't know but we had hope and we had dreams
And we believed
We thought that we could change the system and provide
For people's needs
We were wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
[Lowkey:]
Corbynism was more than a living organism
Centred of one man, the vehicle of a broader mission
The main focus was how they could reform the system
Millions of people up and down the country saw the vision
As a chance for you to improve your conditions
What we learned is the establishment is more malignant
Constant attacks that dragged supporters from the core positions
A story of betrayal, backstabbing and sore decisions
Millions with dreams, the establishment killed them
Operation Clockwork Orange, parallels with Harold Wilson
The fact you have to feel then, cut the flowers
Can't stop the Spring, but why wilt like daffodils then?
Ten Downing Street, a closed door with a frozen
The end of a long, broken path with Cobra's guard
Close but no cigar, crying but chose to laugh
Soldiers in the shooting range aiming at his photograph
Like kill Corbyn
[Mai Khalil:]
We didn't know but we had hope and we had dreams
And we believed
We thought that we could change the system and provide
For people's needs
We were wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
[Lowkey:]
Corbyn the type of person they would usually hate
Who's they? The trilateral security state
Remembering' those times in flashbacks, still the thinkings hazy
Army generals, Mike Pompeo and the Israelis
Found next to Lumumba, Lulu, Chavez, Mossadeck
Special Agent Starmer, you can figure out what was next
Knife to a gunfight, it ended in one night
Sometimes I wonder will the history be unkind
Tryin' to make sense of these disturbing events
Where does agent of state begin and a journalist end?
It's kind of hard to stay calm when they murdered your friends
It's impossible to circumvent this permanent trench
For every single decent person that was thrown to the wolves
Names like Ken Livingstone that won't be recalled
This is a history you won't be told in the schools
We thought that we could change the system
Now I know we were fools, they killed Corbyn
[Mai Khalil:]
We didn't know but we had hope and we had dreams
And we believed
We thought that we could change the system and provide
For people's needs
We were wrong
We didn't know but we had hope and we had dreams
And we believed
We thought that we could change the system and provide
For people's needs
We were wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
[Lowkey:]
