1
High in the hills, a new queen has a country
Down by the river an empire holds sway
And the empress cares not that not all have spoken
And the old queen has nothing to say
2
In the hills it is held that we're all of us equal
In truth not for glory nor riches nor gold
Old imperial power still poisons its people
After the empire's been sold
chorus
A declaration has been made
The seeds of freedom sown
We've been taken to the barricade
Now let's take back our home
3
The will of the people, broken then stolen,
By the punch and judy parlay-lament
Now we've been told the country's all sold
Our money's all spent on rent
4
Stand with me brothers, stand with me sisters
free men and free women for freedom for all
for now we begin, we've a country to win
or nothing left at all
5
But I work for macdonalds and walmart and tescos
amazon, uber and starbucks and sky
you can't eat freedom, if you're slave to the wages
until the day you die
chorus revisited
A declaration has been made
we're free to be alone
but I'm still here on the barricades
thinking of my home
Who profits from borders, what currencies paid
There's always a crowd when there's cash to be made
Get in the queue, maybe you'll get some too
For that's how we're going to be saved
chorus finally
A declaration has been made
And the spoils of freedom shown
and I'm looking from the barricades
I wonder, where went home
