Twenty People in a Room Above a Pub

You could get low. You could get down
You could really start to frown
When you're only twenty people in a room above a pub
Twenty people in a room above a pub
Twenty people in a room above a pub
Twenty people in a room above a pub

Because you wanna shake this mess.
You wanna turn it all around
But your only twenty people in a room above a pub
Twenty people in a room above a pub
Twenty people in a room above a pub

And it fills you with despair to see all the empty chairs
Coz they said that they'd be there. Doesn't anybody care?
Twenty people in a room above a pub
Twenty people in a room above a pub

Too busy trying to keep their head above water
But if not for them, what about their son or their daughter
Haven't they got blood pumping through their aorta?
And my sister is in town man, I wish that I'd brought her
Twenty people in a room above a pub
Twenty people in a room above a pub

And it's the same old faces in the same old places
Make the same old cases, a puddle not an oasis
Twenty people in a room above a pub
Twenty people in a room above a pub

And to call it a movement just feels pretentious
when you look at all the forces that are lined up against us
Twenty people in a room above a pub
Twenty people in a room above a pub

Twenty people in a .........what?
Some thought it was a show? So?
Fifteen people in a room above a pub (that's)
Fifteen people in a room above a pub (just)
Fifteen people in a room above a pub
Fifteen people in a room above a pub

Yeah, but be honest, it's been ten
Man alive, it's been five
And what about that time when nobody came?
And you're missing the game
And you forgot to set record...and who's this just come in?
Oh lord, it's him. The pedantic, sectarian left libertarian
I swear if he kicks off he'll wish he'd stayed with his books antiquarian

Sixteen people in a room above a pub (that's)
Sixteen people in a room above a pub (just)
Sixteen people in a room above a pub (not all of them welcome)
Sixteen people in a room above a pub

What?.............................What now?
Some more come?.........We're thirty one?
With more on the stairs? Wait...have we got enough chairs?

So you're no longer feeling lonely because it's standing room only
There are forty people in this room above a pub
Then, eighty people in a room above a pub
Soon one-sixty people in a room above a pub
Next three-twenty people in rooms above pubs
Six-forty, twelve hundred, two and a half, five
ten, twenty, forty K - this movement is live!
Eighty, one-sixty and we're still not complete
So we're getting out our seat and we take it to the street
They start to feel the heat and then we got the suckers beat.

So don't you ever dare despair, don't you ever cease to care
Because you're only twenty people in a room above a pub
Twenty people in a room above a pub
For hear when i beseech ya, you let history be your teacher
You are harder than Jack Reacher. You're the main fucking feature
Because the struggle is greater than the sum of it's parts
It's a battle for the minds, it's a battle for the hearts
But don't you know that the revolution starts, with
Twenty people in a room above a pub
Twenty people in a room above a pub
Twenty people in a room above a pub
Twenty people in a room above a pub
