You can hear the people
screaming, but you think
that you're still dreaming
even as you pour the cream in
and it rises to the top,
stop?
stop is just a red light that
programmes us to do right,
can you hear those people screaming?

they still knock 'em out in China
to undercut the home economy,
the referees should set us free
on three falls or submission,
but
China's not the enemy
the enemy's within.
