[Verse 1]
They dress the wound with silver tape
Call it mercy
Call it faith
Count their coins like rosary beads
While we choke on dust and broken teeth
You raised your glass
Said "that's enough"
But your plate stayed heavy
Ours stayed rough
We learned the law you wrote in drought
What you lock away
We drag back out
[Pre-Chorus]
You hear that drum?
That’s our name
You feel that flame?
We’re done being tame
[Chorus]
Every hand that feeds is bitten if it steals from hungry mouths
You can build your walls higher
We will tear them down
We are the teeth you sharpened
We are the thunder now
Every hand that feeds is bitten if it steals from hungry mouths
[Verse 2]
You threw us crumbs from gilded steps
Called it love and called it blessed
But we kept score in scars and shouts
Every empty night you counted out
You raised your voice
Said “know your place”
We carved our answers in your gates
You sowed your fear
Row by row
Now you get to reap what grows
[Pre-Chorus]
You hear that roar?
That’s your name
You feel that shake?
We won’t break again
[Chorus]
Every hand that feeds is bitten if it steals from hungry mouths
You can build your walls higher
We will tear them down
We are the teeth you sharpened
We are the thunder now
Every hand that feeds is bitten if it steals from hungry mouths
[Bridge]
We don’t want your painted pity (keep it)
We don’t want your hollow crown (take it)
We just take back what you buried
Stone by stone
We pull it out
[Chorus]
Every hand that feeds is bitten if it steals from hungry mouths
You can build your walls higher
We will tear them down
We are the teeth you sharpened
We are the thunder now
Every hand that feeds is bitten if it steals from hungry mouths
