Ali Zay Speaks

The System

Be true to your word because words hurt

If they’re mistreated and mixed with dirt

Your own lies is that what you believe

Fully educated to deceive

Take from us to ease your greed

Don’t worry about fulfilling our needs

Simply we just breathe, and now you cut that by taking down trees.

Over packed job centres

Long queues in housing

Unemployment rising

Jails overcrowding

Street corners seem attractive

When living in subsidised housing

We’re more than a number so stop counting

Understand that to help you don’t have to move mountains

Just be true to your word

Because power isn’t everything in this world
