VERSE 1:
Welcome to our World
Is this the place the South London voiceless speak
‘Cos I can’t see them past these non existent headlines
If divide and conquer got us here
And oil prices are your fear
‘Cos Black gold is not the people
It’s your mineral extraction
We don’t need hyperbole or distractions
Give us the facts we don’t want the factions
We have people we have stories
Show us pictures not allegories
More than the just posters on the streets
This is where we live, die and eat
So if you want to break bread with me
Then come and take a seat
CHORUS:
Do we really care? YEAH
Do we really care? YEAH
Do we really care? YEAH
Do we really care? YEAH
Do we really care? YEAH
Do we really care?
‘Cos we’ll fight for our air
VERSE 2:
Welcome to our world, South Circular
It’s more than a thoroughfare
For people who want to live, breathe and reside here
And if peaceful protest is to be banned
Is it not underhand
For those of us who don’t want to work hand in glove
We just want to have a hand in love
Look after your family
Stay alive
Please
HGV 6 axles, 44 tonnes
2 inches and 54 foot on top of that
As it circles around our south
Happily chugging
And leaving our children’s lungs black
NO2 means something to me
But what does it mean to you
Or do you not care
Because you think you’re in an area that‘s for the well to do
But it’s not about wealth or taste
Carbon monoxide will get you too
No haste
Now let’s see what will happen
Respiratory bad patterns
Can even get the man at the top
He survived it others did not
150,000 plus can’t be forgot
So please let us breathe
Before the breathing stops
CHORUS:
Care? YEAH
Do we really care? YEAH
Do we really care? YEAH
Do we really care? YEAH
Do we really care? YEAH
Do we really care? YEAH
‘Cos we’ll fight for our air

OUTRO:
Would fight for your air (Then just fight for your air)
Would fight for your air (Then just fight for your air)
Would fight for your air (Then just fight for your air)
Without looks of despair
Would fight for your air (Then just fight for your air)
Would fight for your air (Then just fight for your air)
Would fight for your air (Then just fight for your air)’
‘Cos we all need to care
