(Verse)
They built their thrones on the backs of the broken,
Whipped those of us who were outspoken.
But we refused to stay silent,
While they tried to beat us into compliance.
The time to speak out is now!
They will never tear us down!
(Pre-chorus)
It’s time to rise up!
Yea we’re fucking fed up!
You tried to break us down,
But tonight we’re gonna stand our ground!
(Chorus)
We’ve been a slave to the man, but tonight we’re breaking these chains,
Fuck the hands that held us down, we’re done playing their games.
Raise your fists to the sky, let the fucking war begin,
We’re standing up together, and we’re never giving in!
No more bowing, no more crawling, we refuse to live restrained,
This is our time, this is our fight so let’s fucking break these chains!
(Verse)
We’re tearing down the walls that held us enslaved,
Breaking out of these bars that kept us caged.
We won’t ever stop until we’re free,
Yea, we won’t stop until we see their defeat!
This is our final fight!
Our masters will fall tonight!
(Pre-chorus)
It’s time to rise up!
Yea we’re fucking fed up!
You tried to break us down,
But tonight we’re gonna stand our ground!
(Chorus)
We’ve been a slave to the man, but tonight we’re breaking these chains,
Fuck the hands that held us down, we’re done playing their games.
Raise your fists to the sky, let the fucking war begin,
We’re standing up together, and we’re never giving in!
No more bowing, no more crawling, we refuse to live restrained,
This is our time, this is our fight so let’s fucking break these chains!
(Guitar solo)
(Bridge)
We’re breaking free of these chains tonight!
Yea, we will fucking win this fight!
We’re tearing down every fucking wall!
Yea, tonight your kingdom will fucking fall!
We’re fucking rising up!
Because we’re fucking fed up!
You tried to break us down,
But tonight we’re standing our ground!
(Chorus)
We’ve been a slave to the man, but tonight we’re breaking these chains,
Fuck the hands that held us down, we’re done playing their games.
Raise your fists to the sky, let the fucking war begin,
We’re standing up together, and we’re never giving in!
No more bowing, no more crawling, we refuse to live restrained,
This is our time, this is our fight so let’s fucking break these chains!
We’ve been a slave to the man, but tonight we’re breaking these chains,
Fuck the hands that held us down, we’re done playing their games.
Raise your fists to the sky, let the fucking war begin,
We’re standing up together, and we’re never giving in!
No more bowing, no more crawling, we refuse to live restrained,
This is our time, this is our fight so let’s fucking break these chains!
