The Oxbridge Mafia

from Carnival Milita by Stand Out Riot

/

lyrics

I saw them fall, like we ever even had a chance,
I put it off, to follow our dreams,
No amount of education, can force you to think my way,
No amount of information, can keep your views at bay

The more you pursuit the truth, the more it slips away?
Or is it a select group that has been led astray?
You can’t argue a conscience, nor can you redefine,
The boundaries of wrong and right, and where you draw the line.
Are we born judgemental? Born prejudiced?
It’s a fact of life that we sow our own ideals,
But are we doing this right?

It’s the Oxbridge mafia, revival of the middle class,
Oxbridge Mafia.

“I’ve seen it all, every culture, every colour
Bickering against each other”,
“And the racial strife the media tries to smother.”
Sing your heart out, as a form of non-violent protest?
You need soul my friend; it’ll take more than soul
To clean up this mess.

If you blame it on your upbringing,
You know that it is wrong
And that doesn’t stop your neo-Nazi practise
Running strong
Racism through speech, racism through song,
It doesn’t take a genius to see what’s going on
Why do we feel so hostile?
Why do we need to fight?
We’ve got to believe what we hear
What we see, we’ve got to put an end
To this bigoted society.

Although this town is full of horrors,
We will fight for our right to stay,
Remember this sound,
Memorise our movements,
Little girl, we’ll make it out alive.

When will you learn education
Won’t render you sane? MAFIA!
