They stole everything and locked it away,
So we'll smash everything that's in the way,
Of a world where we can stand to breathe,
Without giving up what being human means.
We can't wait for someone else to write the songs that we'll sing on the barricades,
Or until the last police is gone to keep each other safe.
We can't wait until we know we aren't wrong to raise the stakes,
We can't wait for someone else to write the songs that we'll sing on the barricades.
I meet people everyday who can barely bring themselves to believe,
That the sun is coming up again.
I meet people everyday who can't bring themselves to believe,
That the world is gonna change, as if it's ever done anything else.
