Lyrics We Don't Do That (Type.Raw remix) - ExP

This is for the pupils in school with no attention span
And the teachers that know that and scrap the lesson plan
For the people who fought bureaucracy and lost
Trying to help their fellow man when people were yelling, "stop"
For the red tape cutters and the rule benders
Sometimes you've gotta play red light roulette with your fuel sensor
Just to get a bit further than they tell you you can
Get your head out the sand but don't walk around like the elephant man
With your head in a blanket you're a human, go and tell 'em your plan
And if you don't have one help someone you believe in
Even, if the end result is not achievement
Barely time to breathe in before the time flies
Life is a sci-fi but we don't have 5 lives
Or a couple of continues so that we can come back
And have another crack at the big boss and all his crap
But there'll be, wins and losses every walk of life
And if you hide from the failure life's short and shite
Better facing your fears cos there's more to fight
If you can't make the world better make Yorkshire right

We just move forward we don't move back
We don't do that
If'ya don't help Yorkshire then don't move back
We don't do that
We don't cut corners to make you cash
We don't do that
We don't take orders or take your crap...
We don't do that

West Yorkshire is the place, and it's cold and it rains
But we know the terrain, it's God's own, and they're saying
They wanna frack it and destroy it and then keep the profit
Chemicals will leak across it, we need to stop it
Cos: London sees the North as a faeces deposit
Let's see how they do when tides rise and leave 'em bobbin
But for now, they'll cut our flood defence budget and wonder
Why the very next year we're a couple feet under
We suffer in winter, and we suffer in summer
And we suck up to the rich cos of a couple of numbers
Electronically stored on databases like they can't erase it
And replace it and say it's gone without a trace and they sit
And watch the world collapse in the lap of luxury
While the rest of us riot, loot and become a bunch of thieves
Over a trap we put ourselves in, grafting for the selfish
Exchanging cash for basics and the crap we put on shelving
Crack on getting back to what actually makes us healthy
But they'll tell you: don't do that, you'll do yourself in

We just move forward we don't move back
We don't do that
If'ya don't help Yorkshire then don't move back
We don't do that
We don't cut corners to make you cash
We don't do that
We don't take orders or take your crap...
We don't do that

How can you have cash for nuclear submarines
But cut health services cos there's not enough for me?
Where's the money coming from to pay for defence
When there's a housing shortage? It doesn't make any sense
For £350 mill we can renovate the palace
For unknown quantities of gas we can rape the planet
I'm a remoaner and a lefty, a socialist scum
Fuck the Times, Express, Telegraph, Mail and the Sun
Contributions are the problem with politics
The side with the most golden handshakes has gotta win
The right fight for corporations, the left for little people
7 in 10 MPs are millionaires, are we equal?
Do you want unsuccessful people to run the country?
Do you count inheritance as success you numpty?
Privilege is quickly forgotten by those that have it
Like, people on benefits are morose and savvy
But what's the difference between a government propping you up
And your parents bailing you out often enough?
I can't lie, I've wanted for nothing
I shouldn't have to feel guilty that I've not really suffered
But that doesn't mean I shouldn't be responsible
When hospitals and hostels are shut down
To cut the costs where possible it's horrible
I need to get in gear, we could all do some more good
For those that are fighting, keep moving forward

We just move forward we don't move back
We don't do that
If'ya don't help Yorkshire then don't move back
We don't do that
We don't cut corners to make you cash
We don't do that
We don't take orders or take your crap...
We don't do that
