No Paradise Lyrics by Anti-flag

No Paradise

Smoke stacks reach the sky
As talk of revolution heats the air
On every city street
In every state the truth stands all too clear
(1,2,3,4!)

The kids are sick and tired of the news today
Sick and tired of all the lies
We want the truth

It isn't going to be no paradise
It isn't going to be no paradise
Forget the claims
It isn't going to be no paradise
Oh no
We need to take the world back now
We need to take control right now

Promises of a better tomorrow
Promises bought on borrowed dollars
No disaster ever looked so great
So what I say
As old men deliver nothing but terror/war
We ask ourselves what are we dying for?

And so the kids are sick and tired of the news today
Sick and tired of all your lies
We want the truth

It isn't going to be no paradise
It isn't going to be no paradise
Forget the claims
It isn't going to be no paradise
Oh no
We need to take the world back now
We need to take control right now

The richest of the rich, dine in fancy chic cafes
Not a worry all their days
The cost of luxury, throughout empires of history
Is vengeance from those empire enslaves

You better hear us now

It isn't going to be no paradise
It isn't going to be no paradise
Forget the claims
It isn't going to be no paradise
It isn't going to be no paradise
Oh no
We need to take the world back now
We need to take control right now
