Mrs F's "You Don't Speak For Us" Protest Single
A very interesting song!
There's a touch of Lana Del Rey in the track, but with a political energy...
Have a listen:
Mrs F "You Don't Speak For Us" Protest Single
Hey corrupt Leaders: “You Don’t Speak For Us”! Protest Single out in all music stores.
"It always seems impossible until it is done" ~ Nelson Mandela
"This is our song
For those who feel they have no voice
For those who have been ignored and stonewalled
This is not a cry of desperation, but a cry of determination
We have a voice and will be heard
Together we can and WILL hold our leaders accountable
This is our song
So you think you can speak for me
And you say you see everything clearly
But your facts don't quite add up
And your plans are frankly eerie
Your head's in the sand
Fingers are in your ears
You don't speak for us
No no no no
There's a boy you'll never know
An aching mother is praying and crying for her child
So many things you just don't get
Your little head, just don't fret
Your head's in the sand
Fingers are in your ears
Lying through your teeth
You bring misery for years
You don't speak for us
No no no no
Every child deserves a decent education
Every person has a right to dignity and liberation
Our planet is ill and so is our society
Stop Listen
If not for headlines sipping tea
These troubled streets you would never see
But they have a voice and will be heard
We have a voice and will be heard
