Lyrics

[02:13.32] Do you hear revolution’s call?
[02:16.89] It’s time to fight our own denial
[02:20.36] Warmongers keep us locked in fear
[02:23.87] Invoke the past, a moment of tears
[02:27.71] An ugly truth
[02:29.39] Put forth by our youth
[02:31.17] Under the threat of patriotic brute, so
[02:34.49] Use your rage
[02:38.36] It is a weapon
[02:40.05] We now must engage
[02:42.42] Let trumpets sound our call
[02:50.24] Or by their lies we will fall
[02:53.60] Gnash down our teeth in hate and sing
[03:00.71] Sing revolution’s song
[03:06.17] When they say die
[03:08.30] Die for America
[03:30.66] They say that freedom isn’t free
[03:34.28] It’s paid with the lives
[03:35.73] Of sons and families
[03:38.03] Cause blood is their new currency
[03:41.29] And oil pumps the heart of money
[03:46.25] So fight as one
[03:48.05] Without a fxxking gun
[03:49.95] Words are the bullets to this revolution
[03:53.15] Use your pain
[03:56.82] The battlegrounds, the streets are ablaze
[04:00.46] Excess will pave their path
[04:08.29] The winds of change, our bloodbath
[04:11.63] Gnash down our teeth in hate and sing
[04:18.73] Sing revolution’s song
[04:23.77] When they say die
[04:26.13] Die for America
[05:08.23] Power and prejudice
[05:12.96] Actions they use to pit against
[05:18.01] Terror, insurgency
[05:22.26] Words uses to scare conformity
[05:26.41] It’s propaganda, it’s their hypocrisy
[05:31.27] Free to choose our own slavery
[05:35.34] All suffer humanity
[06:34.17] Fight
[06:51.86] Fight – for all that you love
[06:56.07] Scream – choking with foot upon threat
[07:00.23] Blind – star spangled eyes
[07:04.39] Death – no more the truth you will hide
[07:08.65] No, more
[07:16.91] So how do they sleep?
[07:24.67] When our mothers weep
[07:32.46] They’re selling our souls
[07:40.36] And our blood for oil
[07:46.69] Our generation
[07:50.81] Can be the fxxking one
[07:52.67] That overcomes the greed
[07:54.26] Of corrupt nations
[07:55.94] Have no shame
[07:59.63] You’re not alone in thinking
[08:01.30] This is fxxking insane
[08:03.40] Rise up and take your stand
[08:11.41] And curl the fingers of your hand
[08:14.99] And I don’t know what to do
[08:16.52] Cause I don’t have the answers
[08:18.04] But with ever ounce of strength
[08:20.05] I’ll vow to fight this cancer
[08:22.09] Didn’t say I want to lead
[08:23.72] I just might let you down
[08:25.33] Didn’t say believe in me
[08:27.18] Just hold this common ground
[08:29.23] I’m just as lost as you
[08:31.06] And probably more confused
[08:32.78] So fxxking far from perfect
[08:34.50] My mind wrecked from abuse
[08:36.50] There’s something fxxking wrong
[08:38.19] When war takes sons and daughters
[08:40.11] Our lambs misled to slaughter
[08:48.20] Clenching the fists of dissent
[08:51.90] Lies!
[08:55.83] Clenching the fists of dissent
[08:59.64] Fear!
[09:03.62] Clenching the fists of dissent
[09:07.49] Change!
[09:11.46] Clenching to hope
