We all ought to know what is wrong from what's right
But show me what's worth fighting for and for it I will fight
But if we have to kill or be killed in doing so that's another thing
Though the praises of war heroes the majority do like to sing
With passive resistance Gandhi did succeed
Now here was a person who was born to lead
For India and it's people great thing he done
For his people without firing a shot the right to self determination was won
I will speak out on behalf of the life of a tree
That has lived in the Townpark for a century
That is deemed to be dangerous and ordered to be cut down
By the corporate leaders who run the big town
Show me something worth fighting for and I'll fight for it but not with fist, weapon or gun
For I'd like to enjoy some more time in the sun.
