Reggae beat

The newsman was explaining that it isn’t really raining
That’s the trickle down that lands on me and you
From Santiago up to Queens, it’s the same crooks who own the means
Their gang colors are the red, the white, and blue
Every day’s a new damnation wake up, get down to the station
Shuffle past the cops just like the waking dead
They make a thousand off our backs, and then we march back to the tracks
They make us pay get our bodies back to bed

Chorus:
No Fare! No fare! You can hear it everywhere
Sick of paying all our wages just to run around your cages
And we’ve got no more to spare
No fare! No fare! Like a shot rings through the air
It’s a joyous riot sound bubbling up from underground
And we’re coming for the chairman’s chair

You’ve got the cops on the attack to try and push the people back
But we get in just like the Greeks got into Troy
and your camera drones are crashing where we’ve got the lasers flashing
And your facial recognition is a toy
A thousand dollar new machine to track our routes and take our green
But we can stop it with a tube of super glue
Fuck the cops and we ain’t playing, fuck your fare and we ain’t paying
Because we’re sick to hell of wearing out our shoes

Chorus:
No Fare! No fare! You can hear it everywhere
Sick of paying all our wages just to run around your cages
And we’ve got no more to spare
No fare! No fare! Like a shot rings through the air
Nobody’s asking for permission, we just fired the ignition
And lit it up just like Tahrir Square

[instrumental jam]

Now we’re long past negotiation or a civil litigation
The camel’s back was breaking long before the hike
Why go back to normal business? We started it, and we can finish
each oppression is another way to strike
When the master’s on their knees they try to flatter and to please
call for balance but we’re busting up the scales
Throw that policeman your brick it’s a non refundable ticket
And we’re set to drive this train off of the rails

Chorus:
No Fare! No fare! You can hear it everywhere
Sick of paying all our wages just to run around your cages
And we’ve got no more to spare
No fare! No fare! Like a shot rings through the air
Busting out of all the sidelines, there’s a world beyond the skyline
And we won’t stop til we’re there
