So tell me family now what do you thinkA??
|
Watch it all go down the great big sink.
|
Watch how the scum it rises to the top.
|
Don't you wonder when it's all gonna stop?
|
Sometimes I wonder how we do sleep,
|
serving the dodgy companies we keep.
|
All kicking and scrounging for the very first place -
|
dictionary definition of a rat race.
|
Pay off those losers we elect to lead,
|
stealing from the mouths that we're meant to feed.
|
Enslaving the very clothes upon my back,
|
I feel the sting but I hear no crack, no crack, I'm saying
|
|
Running through the fire, running through the flame,
|
running through the hatred, pushing through the blame,
|
running through the hopelessness and shame,
|
revolution already underway.
|
|
Big Heavy Pirates man digging those holes,
|
messing with something that they can't control.
|
Tresspassing lands where they don't belong,
|
all I hear is screaming where there once were songs.
|
I got my brothers there fighting those wars,
|
fighting over scraps and scraping their souls.
|
Under a blanket of a fire and pride
|
that can't keep us warm for the cold inside,
|
inside, I'm saying
|
|
Running through the fire, running through the flame,
|
running through the hatred, pushing through the blame,
|
running through the hopelessness and shame,
|
revolution already underway.
|
|
So tell me when you think we're gonna rise?
|
Wake from this slumber wipe the tears from our eyes?
|
Yes from this nightmare yes I must now wake,
|
open my fist my destiny I takeA?!
|
Good people sick and tired of being pushed around,
|
we call them kings but I see no crown.
|
Tell me when you think we'll just stand up,
|
say enough is enough is enough,enough I'm saying
|
|
Running through the fire, running through the flame,
|
running through the hatred, pushing through the blame,
|
running through the hopelessness and shame,
|
revolution already underway.
|
|
Take back your feet, take back your hands.
|
Take back your words, take back your lands.
|
Take back your heart, take back your pride.
|
Don't got to run, don't got to hide.
|
Revolution.
