Stake a Claim (Live at Electric Picnic, Ireland 04.09.2010)

In this democracy, I as a citizen reserve
The right to stand up for what I believe in
In this democracy, I as a citizen am not accountable to the government
In this democracy, the government is accountable to us, the people
In this democracy, the government is elected
By us, the people to represent us, the people
In our best interests on a national and international scale
And if they are not doing so, in this democracy
I as a citizen reserve the right to rise up

I will not move, I will not change
I will not bend or play their games
I will stand tall with a full frame
I will take pride, I will stake a claim
I will not move, I will not change
I will not bend or play their games
I will stand tall with a full frame

I will take pride, I will stake a claim
I will not move, I will not change
I will not bend or play their games
I will stand tall with a full frame
I will take pride, I will stake a claim
I will not move, I will not change
I will not bend or play their games
I will stand tall with a full frame
I will take pride, I will stake a claim

I swear as a citizen of this country to stand up for what I believe in
I swear as a citizen of this country to
Not just sit around, bitching and moaning
I swear as a citizen of this country
To take action if action be needed
I swear as a citizen of this country to realize
That the power is with us and no one else

I will not move, I will not change
I will not bend or play their games
I will stand tall with a full frame
I will take pride, I will stake a claim
I will not move, I will not change
I will not bend or play their games
I will stand tall with a full frame

I will take pride, I will stake a claim
I will not move, I will not change
I will not bend or play their games
I will stand tall with a full frame
I will take pride, I will stake a claim
I will not move, I will not change
I will not bend or play their games
I will stand tall with a full frame
I will take pride, I will stake a claim

I will stake a claim
I will stake a claim
I will stake a claim
I will stake a claim

I will not move, I will not change
I will not bend or play their games
I will stand tall with a full frame
I will take pride, I will stake a claim
I will not move, I will not change
I will not bend or play their games
I will stand tall with a full frame

I will take pride, I will stake a claim
I will not move, I will not change
I will not bend or play their games
I will stand tall with a full frame
I will take pride, I will stake a claim
I will not move, I will not change
I will not bend or play their games
I will stand tall with a full frame
I will take pride, I will stake a claim

I will stake a claim
I will stake a claim
I will stake a claim
I will stake a claim
