These Are the Things - The Trials of Cato

They say there’s a mother who cares for us all

Shows us the way when we stumble and fall

Trained and educated to the highest degree

Whoever she is she’s not working for me

We’ve been we’ve been wrong counted the years

And now we’ve been told to dry our tears

To show aspiration and swallow our pride

Oh these are the things that we cannot abide

When the walls all go up and troubles in store

And reason and justice is all we ask for

When you’re kicking a man for being down on the floor

Oh these are the things that I cannot ignore

Oh these are the things that I cannot ignore

They say there’s a nation of more than one tongue

Where children of old foes can sit down as one

Don’t give a damn about where they come from

And this is called marching to the beat of one drum

But while we’ve all been dreaming of day long ago

We’ve burnt every bridge and we’ve shut every door

But no man Island so far from the shore

And these are the things that I cannot ignore

When the walls all go up and troubles in store

And reason and justice is all we ask for

When you’re kicking a man for being down on the floor

Oh these are the things that I cannot ignore

Oh these are the things that I cannot ignore

And you say we’re to blame but we’ve heard it before

They’ve won it this time, but who’s keeping score

And the little eats less so the richer eats more

These are the things that I cannot ignore

When you live by the day at the markets command

Where profit and properties the law of the land

To be held, to be heard, to be dealt a fair hand

These are things that our people demand

When the walls all go up and troubles in store

And reason and justice is all we ask for

When you’re kicking a man for being down on the floor

Oh these are the things that I cannot ignore

Oh these are the things that I cannot ignore

Ah Ah Ah

These are the things that I cannot ignore
