No More! (It Doesn't Have To Be Like That) Lyrics

Through history the royalty in ignorance we all obeyed

They told us from God's name their power came, building monuments where we all prayed

And said the royal we depend on me, to save you from the hoards abroad

In dependency we failed to see we were dying by their cousin's bloody sword

But as our numbers grew the royals knew they had to find a better way

To keep control of every soul and find a better God to whom we'd pray

Cos as the years went by our people died fighting in their family wars

But there were those that cried we've all been lied to, they've stolen all the land and we're all poor

But it doesn't have to be like

It doesn't have to be like that no more

No it doesn't have to be like

It doesn't have to be like that, no more

They saw the human seed was sowed with greed and many of us could be bought

The aristocracy were proof you see, given all the land that they'd all sought

In return to be their military and Lord it on the serfs below

Who'd be the fodder for those family wars, paying tax to work the land that the gentry owned

To teach their royal rules they founded schools for the family trees of aristocracies

Which came to be, corporately, by royal charter universities

And from the wide country to the cramped cities, the people flocked, the likes of you and me

Working to their knees in factories or down a deep dark mine where it was hard to see

It didn't have to be like

It didn't have to be like that no more

No it didn't have to be like

It didn't have to be like that no more

No more

Overtime the corporate crime was chartered in the form of banks

And from the corporate sole that charged our toll, the aggregate was formed to swell their ranks

And so it came to be society and the system that we serve today

Where the life you're shown is what you own and you're working for the banksters' debts to pay

Keep working hard and play your cards, if you want to win the game

It's 'Monopoly' from the powers that be so they don't have to do the bloody same

Yeah, it's a family game in all but name and the banker always seems to win

While it's austerity for you and me and you'd better beg their priest to absolve your sins

But it doesn't have to be like

It doesn't have to be like that no more

No it doesn't have to be like

It doesn't have to be like that, no more

So we were lost at sea to slavery and our parents never were to know

Gave us as assets free, to the company, for a certificate of birth receipt to show

And now they feed us news to mold our views and we're dumb from all the bloody mess

It's never ending work & servitude, never ending worry, war & stress

Yeah we were born and raised to be their slaves but we're starting now to see the truth

And I'm here to say don't be that way, take time to search and you will find the proof

And then you'll find the way to save your day and claim your right to liberty

Say no, be brave, with love behave

Realise that we are all born free

Free your body, physically

Free your mind and you will see

That you can set your spirit free

Because it doesn't have to be like

It doesn't have to be like that no more

No it doesn't have to be like

It doesn't have to be like that

I said it doesn't have to be like

It doesn't have to be like that no more

No it doesn't have to be like, it doesn't have to be like

It doesn't have to be like that

No more

No more

No more

No more
