[Verse 1]
[Am]It's [C]time to [G]break free from
[Am]improper[F]ty[C]
There's nowhere left to [G]go
There's a [C]lot of people hungry
on the streets tonight
[Am]Plenty of folk huddled
round a firelight
They're [G]living in the shadows,
the houses getting fewer
Board[F]ing up the old ones and
pricing out the newer
There's a [C]lot of people
standing in line tonight
Famil[Am]ies freezing by the candlelight
Liv[G]ing in the damp, the children looking older,
the [F]beds are getting mouldy and the coals are getting colder
It's [C]time to [G]break free from
[Am]improper[F]ty[C]
Nowhere left to [G]go
[C]Someone set us [G]free
Cos the [Am]rent is killing [F]me[C]
And the place that I call [G]home
There's a [C]lot of people pulling
up floorboards tonight
They're [Am]just trying to keep the fire alive
Cos [G]living is a trial and the
battle's getting harder
Kid[F]s are crying hungry and there's
nothing in the larder
There's a [C]lot of people who
haven't got much money tonight
A [Am]lot of people want to start a fire fight
Cos the [G]rich man's getting fatter
and no one seems to matter
[F]Power and lies, the gift is marginalised
It's [C]time to break [G]free
[Am]from improper[F]ty[C]
Cos there's nowhere left to [G]go
Won't [C]someone set us [G]free
from [Am]austerity[F]
[C]There's nowhere to call [G]home
