I seen tents on the roadside, rain comin’ sideways Kids in the cold while the rich count their driveways Empty bowls, but the land sittin’ unused Big gates locked while the people get refused I know names, I know faces, I know pain Heard a mother say she’d sleep out in the rain Just to keep her babies close, keep ’em safe While they auction off the ground like it’s a game [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, something ain’t right in this land we call home Too many people got nowhere to go Too many acres just sittin’ alone While we’re out here breakin’ bones [Chorus – KILLA HOOK] We got rich men in the South West sittin’ on gold While the poor freeze out here in the cold Big land, big dreams, but it’s all locked away Tell me how that’s fair today? We got empty land stretchin’ miles and miles While they sleep on the streets in denial If this country’s built for me and you Why’s it only built for a chosen few? [Verse 2] I seen blokes with degrees sleepin’ under bridges Hard times hit, now they labelled as misfits It ain’t laziness, nah, it’s the system cracked One bad turn and you don’t come back Got farmers strugglin’, bills stackin’ high While investors buy land just to let it lie Tell me why we protect what we never use While we turnin’ away the ones with nothin’ to lose [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, something ain’t right, can you feel that weight? It’s a silent cry comin’ way too late We keep walkin’ past, sayin’ “not my place” But it’s all of our space [Chorus – BIGGER ENERGY] We got rich men in the South West sittin’ on gold While the poor freeze out here in the cold Big land, big dreams, but it’s all locked away Tell me how that’s fair today? We got empty land stretchin’ miles and miles While they sleep on the streets in denial If this country’s built for me and you Why’s it only built for a chosen few? [Bridge – stripped, emotional] I ain’t sayin’ tear it down… I’m just sayin’ look around… You can’t preach about a “fair go” When there’s people on the ground [Final Chorus – ANTHEM MODE] Yeah, rich men in the South West holdin’ the keys While the rest just beggin’ “let us breathe” We don’t need much, just a place to stay Not another promise that fades away If this land’s as wide as they always say Then there’s room for us all, there’s a better way Yeah, this country’s meant for me and you So let’s build it for the forgotten too
