| Just remember |
| things get worse before they ever get better |
| and there’s only two choices you can make |
| run away or stand and fight |
| one day we all have to decide |
| where we stand and if we’re willing to use our voice |
| has your heart grown cold and your anger died |
| or can you hear those distant cries |
| and the promise of a better day to come |
| will you pander and fall |
| to a system that controls your life |
| to a government |
| that has no interest in mine |
| will you bury your head and close your eyes |
| or clench your fists and defy |
| together we can cripple this machine |
| has your heart grown cold and your anger died |
| or can you hear those distant cries |
| and the promise of a better day to come |
| one voice can break the silence |
| be the fire that sparks the riot |
| our discontent will light the flame |
| one fist can smash the barricade |
| throw the brick through their charade |
| we won’t believe the lies anymore |
| resist and rise above |
| resist and rise above |
| all you can do is all that you can |
| it’s up to you and I to take control |
