Clenching the Fists of Dissent |
Do you hear revolution’s call? |
It’s time to fight our own denial |
Warmongers keep us locked in fear |
Invoke the past, a moment of tears |
An ugly truth |
Put forth by our youth |
Under the threat of patriotic brute, so |
Use your rage |
It is a weapon |
We now must engage |
Let trumpets sound our call |
Or by their lies we will fall |
Gnash down our teeth in hate and sing |
Sing revolution’s song |
When they say die |
Die for America |
War! |
They say that freedom isn’t free |
It’s paid with the lives |
Of sons and families |
Cause blood is their new currency |
And oil pumps the heart of money |
So fight as one |
Without a fucking gun |
Words are the bullets to this revolution |
Use your pain |
The battlegrounds, the streets are ablaze |
Excess will pave their path |
The winds of change, our bloodbath |
Gnash down our teeth in hate and sing |
Sing revolution’s song |
When they say die |
Die for America |
Power and prejudice |
Actions they use to pit against |
Terror, insurgency |
Words uses to scare conformity |
It’s propaganda, it’s their hypocrisy |
Free to choose our own slavery |
All suffer humanity |
Fight |
Fight -- for all that you love |
Scream -- choking with foot upon throat |
Blind -- star spangled eyes |
Death -- no more the truth you will hide |
No, more |
So how do they sleep? |
While our mothers weep |
They’re selling our souls |
And our blood for oil |
Our generation |
Can be the fucking one |
That overcomes the greed |
Of corrupt nations |
Have no shame |
You’re not alone in thinking |
This is fucking insane |
Rise up and take your stand |
And curl the fingers of your hand |
And I don’t know what to do |
Cause I don’t have the answers |
But with every ounce of strength |
I’ll vow to fight this cancer |
Didn’t say I want to lead |
I just might let you down |
Didn’t say believe in me |
Just hold this common ground |
I’m just as lost as you |
And probably more confused |
So fucking far from perfect |
My mind wrecked from abuse |
There’s something fucking wrong |
When war takes sons and daughters |
Our lambs misled to slaughter |
War! |
Clenching the fists of dissent |
Lies! |
Clenching the fists of dissent |
Fear! |
Clenching the fists of dissent |
Change! |
Clenching to hope |
