  • You will not catch me staring at the sun
    Not sucking on a dum dum
    Not turning round to run
    No Hallelujahs and no kingdom comes
    So you will not catch me staring at the sun

    Do you hear that thunder?
    That's the sound of strength in numbers

    Fee fee fi fi fo fo fum
    I smell the blood of a million sons
    A million daughters from a hundred thousand guns
    Not taught by our teachers
    On our curriculum

    Do you hear that thunder?
    That's the sound of strength in numbers

    I am I
    Unify (hey)

    Not a single thing has ever been mended
    By you standing there and saying you're offended
    Go ahead, tell them what I've intended
    I'll say what I mean, do what I love
    And fucking send it

    Do you hear that thunder?
    That's the sound of strength in numbers

    There's nothing brave and nothing useful
    You scrawling your aggro shit on the walls of the cubicle
    Saying my race and class ain't suitable
    So I raise my pink fist and say black is beautiful

    Do you hear that thunder?
    That's the sound of strength in numbers

    I am I
    Unify

    I am I
    Unify, unify, unify

    Do you hear that thunder? Writer/s: Adam Devonshire, Jonathan Beavis, Joseph Talbot, Lee Kiernan, Mark Bowen
