lyrics

There are people in this world who make every day a rainy day
They never smile at anyone, they only open their mouths to complain
They’ll take the joy that we allow them to take

We can’t let them win, we can’t let them win
Give a smile when you can, and reach out a helping hand
‘Cause we can’t let them win

There are people in this world
Who want to take away the rights we've achieved
And they can't accept us having more
Because they've already got all they need
If they had their way we'd all be lonely

But to tell the truth
It’s not right versus wrong or weak versus strong
Or progressives against conservatives
It’s big corporations controlling our minds
Controlling our data and controlling our lives
Divide and conquer against everybody else
So I say...
We can’t let them win

Non Canon II
