I hear voices on the wind Crying out in distress But I'm turning up the volume Tuning out the SOS 'Cos I'm a big big player with no time for regret And I'm the favourite flavour of everyone that I've met Walk on water as the levels rise, no surprise there And when the gas clouds form watch me take to the air And you know you can't afford to look as good as I do You just can't keep cool at the turn of the screw Before your race is finished, I'll take over the place I'll snort up your ashes with a cockroach to chase Victory tastes so good! It's a rock dove! It's a rock dove! It's a rock dove! It's a rock dove! It's a rock dove! It's a rock dove! Motherfucking rock dove! It's a rock dove! The meek would inherit the earth If I wasn't such a rockstar Their plans to leave their bunkers Never really got far I'm laying claim to the world without breaking a sweat Gonna get my feet dirty, gonna get my beak wet While your skin is eroding and your lungs giving in I'm doing up my feathers, I am looking to win All the world is garbage and I'm Stig of the Dump And you'll need to grow some wings if you want out of this slump If you want your dignity, you'd better dredge the canal I am culture, I am viral, je suis l'oiseau fatal That's French for "I'm fucking awesome" It's a rock dove! It's a rock dove! It's a rock dove! It's a rock dove! It's a rock dove! It's a rock dove! Motherfucking rock dove! It's a rock dove! Dismiss the propaganda The human PR machine It vilifies our progress Delegitimizes our dream It's a rock dove! It's a rock dove! It's a rock dove! It's a rock dove! It's a rock dove! It's a rock dove! Motherfucking rock dove! It's a rock dove!

I've got a chip in my mug, got a torrent running down my face Hook me up to a Lemsip IV, I'll be out there on parade Got ticks buried in my skin, rip them out with the teeth still in I'm good to go, go, go, go, go, it's 3, 2, 1, blast off You've got the lozenge stuck in your throat I've got a splinter in my eye, add another just to make a point I'm the last of the big spit kickers, kicking spit all across this joint Going to cough up my larynx, just to see what the lovely lord thinks I'm still going, still going, keep flowing, I keep going, I keep going! You've got the lozenge stuck in your throat Cough up the lozenge Cough up the lozenge Cough up the lozenge Cough up the lozenge Cough up the lozenge You're turning orange Cough up the lozenge... You've got the lozenge stuck in your throat

Here's the thing, it's time to let us in, it's time for us to get off the street Curfew's now and the cops go round, looking for a game to cheat The year's running down, big time, and a party's in the air Going to make a party anthem and play some propaganda there Can't dance, don't care, can't dance, don't care Can't dance, don't care, can't dance, don't care Not worried about the mind-forged manacles, going to raise a fist aloft 'Cos the party's just getting started and we're going to set it off Rise up like sick! Rise up like sick! Rise up like sick! Rise up like sick! We didn't win the battle but we're surviving the war Our wounds are healing up, yeah, we're getting up off the floor A new year's coming round the corner and we're going to wipe the slate clean Going to party up 'til midnight, then dismantle the machine Can't dance, don't care, can't dance, don't care Can't dance, don't care, can't dance, don't care We're going to divert a river to clean out all the shit A sea change is clearly needed so we're going to rise up like sick Rise up like sick! Rise up like sick! Rise up like sick! Rise up like sick! Next year, we take the means of production Next year, we take the means of production Next year, we take the means of production Next year, we take the means of production Rise up like sick! Rise up like sick! Rise up like sick! Rise up like sick! Rise up like sick! Rise up like sick! Rise up like sick! Rise up like sick!
