[Verse 1]
You sign our names
on a contract we never saw
You praise your gods
in a house that we never chose
Smile on screens
while you auction our air, our bones
You count your votes
we're counting how much we’ve lost
[Chorus]
Get your hands off
everything that’s ours
You drain our days
to feed your towers
You call it order
we call it crime
You stole the future
this is the line
Get your hands off
get your hands off (hey!)
We bite back
with teeth in the wire
[Verse 2]
You build your walls
from the backs that you underpay
You sell us fear
like a drug that we have to take
You preach of law
while you twist it to fit your friends
You swear you're clean
but the ink on your tongue runs red
[Chorus]
Get your hands off
everything that’s ours
You drain our days
to feed your towers
You call it order
we call it crime
You stole the future
this is the line
Get your hands off
get your hands off (yeah!)
We bite back
with teeth in the wire
[Bridge]
You lied in my face
said "this is for your good"
You called it peace
but you bled out my neighborhood
How much more
do you think we can afford?
Hear that roar?
That’s the silence you ignored
[Chorus]
Get your hands off
everything that’s ours
You drain our days
to feed your towers
You call it order
we call it crime
You stole the future
this is the line
Get your hands off
get your hands off (hey!)
We won’t bow
we’ll set it on fire
We bite back
with teeth in the wire
