[ Featuring Porteous ]
(We've had enough, we've had enough),
(We've had enough, we've had enough),
Mister Dickens, in his decency, (had enough)
Thought decency enough, (we've had enough)
Human nature born in cruelty (had enough)
Bound to turn out rough, (we've had enough)
(Had enough!) Rivers of our mercy,
(Had enough!) Slaves haunt us on the pier,
(Had enough!) Oh decency, in-decency, is not protected here,
Cannot ramble off my friend, (had enough)
This is not the tale be told, (we've had enough)
Endings are beginnings, (had enough)
Chattel bought and sold, (we've had enough)
Turn off precocious claptraps here (had enough):
Ring the solid chime (had enough),
The hour falls, the minutes prowl (had enough):
Unleash the ties that bind (had enough),
No dreamers here, no dreamers here, no air of cruelty,
No dreamers here, no dreamers here, no slave to misery,
It was in the mood of hills and vales, (had enough)
Where animal walked front to rail, (we've had enough)
Whip in hand, strong too, still (had enough)
The boy must stand in iron will, (we've had enough)
No monster great (had enough) as pure in mind (had enough),
No strength so just, (had enough) no wealth is kind, (had enough)
No dreamers here (no dreamers here), no dreamers here, no air of cruelty,
No dreamers here, (no dreamers here), no dreamers here, no slave to misery,
No dreamers here (no dreamers here), no dreamers here, no air of cruelty,
No dreamers here (no dreamers here), no dreamers here, no slave to misery
