In truth, it should be Viva La Evolution. We have the resources and capability to feed, home and cloth every single person on the planet...that done using a fraction of the 'budget' spent on weapons and arms every year. There must be a better way.
We need a new Political Party and Government. The current set-up isn't working for most of us and is adding to the planets problems. It wouldn't do any harm to jail the current UK government for their stream of lies and willful mismanagement

LYRICS
You know it makes me angry to see a rabbit in a cage
Humanities worst enemy is always man himself
We capture, cage, kill or eat, in some cases enslave
So can anybody tell me what humanity really means?
We have this living world that we're destroying piece by piece
Natural wonders, forests, seas, polluted, dead or gone
The Glaciers are melting. The Animals are dying
There's only one thing we can do, let's go and start a party....
I'll just carry on going to work, at the weekend I'll party
Politicians lie while the planet dies but what the fuck let's party
Let's all burn the midnight oil, drive our cars and party
While people die for the oil and dollar, let's have one big party
There's a place I know, let's go there, it's called revolution
Where everyone gets food to eat, Revolution
You want water just turn the tap, of Revolution
You're feeling ill, you'll get good care, That's Revolution
More mc² less CO2, after the revolution
Like a comfy home for everyone, after the revolution
Electric lights and heaters too, after the revolution
Just go back to work, or watch TV, and wait for the Revolution
Get on the phone, call all your friends, Let's all join the Party
Get them all to come, everyone's welcome, let's all join the Party
Doctors, Scientists, Teachers too, let's all join the Party
For each and every living thing, let's have one big Party
Viva La Revolution!
