(Verse 1)
In the cities of rust and the fading light,
We've been quiet too long in the dead of night.
Heard the promises shatter, saw the lines they drew,
Between me and my neighbor, between me and you.
They built their towers on our backs of bone,
Left us stranded and weary, left us all alone.
(Pre-Chorus)
The silence is a weapon, their favorite sound,
But something's shaking now, deep in the ground.
The static's getting louder, the frequency's clear,
A million voices rising, shaking off the fear.
(Chorus)
RISE UP! Against the system, it’s our fuckin time!
RISE UP! Leave the broken pieces behind!
Oh, the future's burning, a fire in the sky,
We are the uprising, we will not comply!
Fuck the system! Fuck the system!
(Verse 2)
They feed us fiction on a silver screen,
Tell us this is freedom, this is the American dream.
But the chains are heavy and the justice is blind,
Leaving basic humanity far behind.
We've seen the faces of the ones who've paid the cost,
Every life a value, nothing gained and nothing lost.
(Pre-Chorus)
The silence is a weapon, their favorite sound,
But something's shaking now, deep in the ground.
The static's getting louder, the frequency's clear,
A million voices rising, shaking off the fear.
(Chorus)
RISE UP! Against the system, it’s our fuckin time!
RISE UP! Leave the broken pieces behind!
Oh, the future's burning, a fire in the sky,
We are the uprising, we will not comply!
Fuck the system! Fuck the system!
(Bridge)
We can't go on, the people are getting angry.
We're not cattle, we are living human beings.
From the factory floor to the forgotten streets,
A change is gonna come, feel our hearts beat...
(Guitar Solo)
(Chorus)
RISE UP! Against the system, it’s our time!
RISE UP! Leave the broken pieces behind!
Oh, the future's burning, a fire in the sky,
We are the uprising, we will not comply!
(Outro)
We will not obey!
Fuck the system!!!
We will not obey!
Fuck the system!!!
FUCK the system!!
FUCK THE SYSTEM!!!!
FUCK YOU!!!!!
