Skip to 1:01 if the time skip doesn't work. Although the whole EP is worth a listen.

Lyrics:

People seem to think they're free
Tucked away in a democracy
Put their cross once in every 5 years
And that feathers their doubts
And it hides their fears
But who do you think profits from cuts in public spending?
It doesn't bother them if the welfare state is ending
Saving people's jobs, if that don't mean a thing
As long as industry is safe
Then the profit still comes in

But this system we live in
It ain't gonna go away
Just because you close your eyes
Or just because you run away
When you wake up tomorrow it'll all still be the same
They've still got power and profit
Do you think they wanna change?
Their nuclear devices ain't to protect our freedom
Their nuclear devices are to protect their spurious position

If they could do without us then they would
If they could do without us then they would
If they would do without us then they could
If they would do without us then they could
