Ryan Fox - All on the Same Side Lyrics

Step forward my friends, come rally around
For the master lies drunken and gorged on the ground
He hires you and fires you whenever he feels
And spits in your face when you lose your appeal
Answers to no-one but profit and greed
Twists round your feet like a rattle-snake weed
But he'll drown in regret at the turn of the tide
For we're all of us, we're all of us on the same side

Hear me you settlers who seek a new home
Though you may feel hated wherever you roam
It's down to the pressman who rashly slings ink
Who never knew hardship or learned how to think
And meanwhile the statesmen do tell us the same
To be scared of the migrant. it's them who's to blame
They tell me to fear you for taking my job
But those lies won't be bought by the working class mob
Now the blindfold is lifted they've nowhere to hide
For we're all of us, we're all of us on the same side

You people who find yourselves better than I
But can't pay the bills for the tax is too high
Somebody tells you it could be much worse
But the ruling elite is both sly and perverse
The papers you read and the news on the screen
Are slaves to the oily corporate machine
And our differences now shall be cast aside
For we're all of us, we're all of us on the same side
