[Verse 1]
Getting in more and more shit, still I ignore it
Like a cold that I've caught that’s a bit more-ish
Got no warmth for the law and I'm sure that I'm pure
I can't stay in the lane they’re enforcing!

[Hook]
Non-conformist, ready for the war!
'Cause I've paid the cost for being poor
Take me away, collateral cause

[Non-Lyrical Refrain]

[Verse 2]
No 9-5
Why would I work to die for you
Purge my whole life for you
When you act with no virtue?
Tell me!
Tired faces on the tube
No "hello"s or no "how do you do?"s

[Hook]
Non-conformist, ready for the war
'Cause I've paid the cost for being poor
Take me away, collateral cause
[Chorus]
Down on all fours
We can't take no more
Collateral cause
Take me, take me to court
Collateral cause
Down on all fours
We can't take no more
Take me, take me to court

[Verse 3]
I hate it, I hate it, the taste that it leaves in my mouth
Taking all these orders from spawn of the foul
From the east to the west to the north to the south
If we all come together we’ll smash down their house
So take me to court, 'cause I'll die for the collateral cause

[Chorus]
Down on all fours
We can't take no more
Collateral cause
Take me, take me to court
Collateral cause
Down on all fours
We can't take no more
Take me, take me to court
[Hook]
Non-conformist, ready for the war
'Cause I've paid the cost for being poor
Take me away, collateral cause
