Our lips are sealed

We hear no evil now, we speak no evil now
But we see whats around and I can't understand it

An Eastern in the West
With Right becoming left
I'll put you to the test
Our lips are sealed

So in the present tense
They say the evidence
Points towards common sense
It all works out for the best in the end

Then please explain to me
How a minority
Can vote the BNP
In a place I call my fucking country?

WHo would you speak for?
Our lips are sealed

I think its safe to say
That people every day
Work hard to find a way
For the kind of place where I wanna stay

And yet I'm pretty sure
That there are so much more
That wanna shut the door
Our lips are sealed

So strike me from the list
Brand me a pessimist
I forgot to mention what the problem is
If I pop the question will they answer this?

Do you think we ever could
Unite and integrate for good
Do you think they ever really would
Or say 'There goes the neighbourhood?'

Who would you speak for?
Who would you speak for?
This place is where I belong

I gotta wonder if the silence speaks louder than words
So wheres the wisdom in a word you never wanted to say?
Pick up the pieces of opinions that I never heard
What have you got to, what have you got to say
Thats so secret eh?

So whens it gonna stop?
Casual racist drop
Call it a paki shop
But you never stop to think about it

It isn't misconstrued
To call it Chinky food
Its simply fucking rude
Our lips are sealed

It turns my stomach when
I hear that spiel again
Say I got no problem
In my own back yard I wouldn't wanna meet them

Why just because they're black
And you can simply turn your back
And say my God I'm alright jack
Ambivalence is on the attack...

Who would you speak for?
Who would you speak for?
This place is where I belong

I gotta wonder if the silence speaks louder than words
So wheres the wisdom in a word you never wanted to say?
Pick up the pieces of opinions that I never heard
What have you got to, what have you got to say
Thats so secret eh?

What have I got to, what have I got to say to make you see?

Its time to think it through
So what we gonna do?
I know you've seen it too
It's up to me and it's up to you

So fucking sing along
Cos I see nothing wrong
With another Unity song
This place is where I belong

Who would you speak for?
Who would you speak for?
This place is where WE belong

I gotta wonder if the silence speaks louder than words
So wheres the wisdom in a word you never wanted to say?
Pick up the pieces of opinions that I never heard
What have you got to, what have you got to say
Thats so secret eh?

What have I got to say?
