Politics of Hope - Paloma Faith/Owen Jones

The rights and freedoms that we have today

Were won by your mothers your fathers your grandmothers

Your grandfathers your ancestors before them

We stand on the shoulders of giants and we owe it to our ancestors

Not just to defend the rights and freedoms

That they fought for at such cost and at such sacrifice

That continue their struggle that a different sort of society

Not a society run in the interests of a tiny elite

But a society run in the interests of the majority

Those who preach the politics of the spare

They want us to believe that all in justice is like the weather

That you can complain about your raining

But there's nothing you can do about it

But the politics of hope tells us something else
