How will the ruling classes keep one jump ahead of you?
It is quite simple education cuts will do
They realise that knowledge is power
And power creates money which you can buy yourself
A decent education or two

Chorus:
I've seen your future
I've seen your future
A generation with nothing left to lose
Why are you so quiet?
When these are fighting times!

I don't wanna be a rich man, I don't wanna win the pools
I want wealth for all like health care jobs and schools
Unemployment has a devastating effect
Rob someone of their right to work
And you know, they feel they have nothing left

Chorus:
I've seen your future
I've seen your future
A generation with nothing left to lose
Why are you so quiet?
When these are fighting times!
