gonna get you
1.
How come I believe the bullshit even though I know the lies?
how come I can hate myself when I know I am good inside?
I fight against my enemies for what they've done to me,
but I'm the only person now who gets to punish me.
chorus.
one move forward two moves back, how can I still believe?
I just started dancing then, but I'm not really free.
I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you all for what you've done!
2.
I'm shocked at how effective my oppression has been,
I realise that I've been had, it's still controlling me.
one thing's for sure, it won't be long and I'll be strong again -
the bastards better brace themselves, coz next it will be them!
chorus.
one move forward two moves back, how can I still believe?
I just started dancing then, but I'm not really free.
I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you all for what you've done!
3.
Phoned my disabled sister I knew she would be proud
because I've just turned corner two on the empowerment road.
I know now for sure there's only me left holding me down -
gonna shoot the voices in my head, dump the shit I carry round.
one move forward two moves back, I know why I believe -
got my sisters and my brothers in this freedom war with me.
we're gonna get you, we're gonna get you all for what you've done!
