Lord Baldwin - They're Taking Over Lyrics

They were always there for us to endorse or disapprove
Yeah, they were waiting for the right moment that they could make their move
Biding time in the shadows till conditions were feeling right
Then stepping forward with resolve, pushing the opposition aside
They're taking over; they're taking over now
Yeah, they're taking over; they're taking over now
We played down the threats, we ignored any warning signs
As they systematically played out their covert plans and designs
Moving from the sidelines, gathering support along the way
Till they got everyone's attention as they took the center stage
They're taking over; they're taking over now
They're taking over; they're taking over now
At first we think what harm is giving them a little bit of choice
After all, they have certain rights to exercise their voice
But they go from simple questioning to demanding what it is they need
And they push all aside to get to where they planned to be
Now, they're taking over; they're taking over now
Oh, they're taking over; they're taking over now
A simple word, a kind idea that seemed to resonate a true
Mingled with a vague philosophy to exclude the likes of me and you
And it goes from simple games to rising up to uphold their stand
And then pushing all aside to get to where they feel that they'd planned
Oh no
What is it that upsets you? Do you feel threatened by their air
As the winds of change are blowing in their direction everywhere
Maybe you feel weak as they step forward, fresh and strong
Or maybe you feel threatened; you feel your ways may soon be gone
Maybe it's their empowerment that grows stronger with every day
Or you fear, the loss, the changes of things that will never be the same
Whatever it is, you better just get over it friend, cause they ain't going away
No, they're taking over; they're taking over now
Oh, they're taking over; over now
Yeah, yeah, they're taking over; over now
They're taking over; they're taking over now
