LYRICS

Viewed as natural as trees and grass
Given way of the middle class
A promise to outplay the mass
For all the wealth can be amassed
It's a single story (Story)
Violently imposed as the (Story)
Universal narrative
Of progress and development and of civilisation

The same ones lead, other ones lag
While majority numbers gag
Killing the possibilities
Of there being other stories
Conceptualisations (Other)
Of progress and development (Stories)
Open are the possibilities!

A deluding promise of a middle class for old times on
