Give back what you stole from me
You and I; we both know
There's something, yeah
There's something that you stole from
Give back what you stole from me
You and I; we both well know
That there's something yeah
Something that you stole from me
Give back what you stole from me
You and I; we both know
There's something yeh
There's something ah
There's something yeh
There's something that you stole from me
Give back what you stole from me
Give back what you stole from me

I can't understand this greed
How the savage have the power
How the rest, how the rest just plant the seed
For the trees must grow for this concrete river to flow
We should stand up and say no
We should stand up and say no
We should stand up and say no

I still don't get this greed
People working to feed their babies
That's the real, thats the real economy
But can you do
You're above this song?
You're not about the trees that grow
We say

We should stand up and say no
We should stand up and say no
We should stand up and say no
We should stand up and say no
We should stand up and say no da da na

Give back what you stole from me
You and I; we both know
There's something, yeah
There's something that you stole from
Give back what you stole from me
You and I; we both well know
That there's something yeah
Something that you stole from me
Give back what you stole from me
You and I; we both know
There's something yeah
There's something ah
There's something yeh
There's something that you stole from me
Give back what you stole from me
Give back what you stole from me

So you gonna (sol) {?} all that you got control
Out of her pockets runs a river of silver
And gold and blood and bronze shit and lies
And so struggle, struggle on the street
Of those with compassion
Oh deserve to eat
This is cut throat business
Need no {?}
No, no, no

So fuck wealth, fuck property
Fuck the power hungry people stopping
You and me from being what we wanna be
It feels like we're alive for a reason
The innocent child do
The changing of the seasons
And everyone has demons
We're stabbing at them in the dark
They're feeding on my beating heart
We should stand up and say no
We should stand up and say no
We should stand up and say no
We should stand up and say no da da

Give back what you stole from me
You and I; we both know
There's something, yeah
There's something that you stole from
Give back what you stole from me
You and I; we both well know
That there's something yeah
Something that you stole from me
Give back what you stole from me
You and I; we both know
There's something yeh
There's something ah
There's something yeh
There's something that you stole from me




Give back what you stole from me
Give back what you stole from me. {2x}
