Tell me my life is about to begin,Tell me that I'm a hero,Promise me all of you violent dreams,I guarantee all you will need themNow, in this ugly world,get ready to fight for your freedomNow, when I give the word,get ready to destroy all this evilNow -Stand up and fight, for you know we are rightWe will strike at the liesThat have spread like disease through our minds.Soon we'll have won and we'll treasure this worthWith our winnings and kindnessTo all who our love now deserveSome of you are going to die -Martyrs, of course, to the freedom I will provide.I'll give you the names of those you must killThen have all burned and quicklyCover them up in Trafalgar SquareHurry to see, you'll see them deadIn this ugly world,ready to fight for your freedomNow, when I give a wordhang 'em on high, let the blood flowNow -Stand up and fight, for you know we are rightWe must strike at the liesThat have spread like disease through our mindsSoon we'll have won and we'll treasure this worthWith our winnings and kindnessTo all who our love now deserveSome of you are going to die -Martyrs of course, to the freedom I will provideWe are only wanting freedom...--- WE HAVE WON ---Some of you are going to die,Martyrs, of course, to the freedom I will provide
