First Against the Wall When the Revolution Comes

First against the wall when the revolution comes

That’s what I said to my banker

I’m tired of your fees and criminal rates

Your all give me and never a thank you.

 

Chorus 1.

The torches and pitchforks are coming for you

Don’t sit there and look so damn smug

The ninety nine percent have had just too much

Of your greedy fat mealy mouthed mug

 

First against the wall when the revolution comes

That’s what I said to my broker

Stop betting my savings in your game of roulette

It’s all fixed but the system is broken

 

Chorus 1.

The torches and pitchforks are coming for you

Don’t sit there and look so damn smug

The ninety nine percent have had just too much

Of your greedy fat mealy mouthed mug

 

First against the wall when the revolution comes

I said to my M.P. in the hall

You’ve lied and you’ve cheated and taken your bribes

It’s time that you take a big fall

 

First against the wall when the revolution comes

That’s what I said to my landlady

You get richer making your tenants poor

Is it me or are your tactics shady?
 

Chorus 2.

Yeah the torches and pitchforks are coming for you

It’s the end of complicit and complacent

You’ll have time to think back on all of your sins

When you’re lying face down on the pavement
