The song is about the propaganda of media and politics to keep everyone against one another. How can they control us if we all realize the bullshit and stand up for one another? It’s us vs. Them (elite) we’re all in the same boat so why do we keep fighting each other?
[Pre-Chorus]
They don't want to see us unite
All they want us to do is keep on fussing and fighting
They don't want to see us live together
All they want us to do is keep on killing one another
[Chorus]
Top ranking, top ranking
Are you skanking (skanking, skanking)
Are you skanking (skanking, skanking)
Wo-ho, top ranking (top ranking)
'Ow, did you mean what you say now?
Are you, How are you (ranking, ranking)
Are you, Lord, Lord, Lord! (skanking, skanking)
[Verse 1]
They say the blood runs
And it runs through our line
And our hearts, heart of hearts divine, eh
And John saw them coming, ooh with the truth
From an ancient time
The brotherly love (brotherly love), the sisterly love (sisterly love)
I feel this morning, I feel this morning
Brotherly love (brotherly love), the sisterly love (sisterly love)
I feel this morning, this morning, Hey
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
