lyrics

All their lives, all their lives they tremble in fear of a world they can’t control
And they pine, and they pine until they are brought to tears cause they can’t get everything they want.
Do we waste, do we waste all of our youths supporting causes that aren’t ours
Or should we fight, should we fight against the abuse of men who’d have us behind bars?

It’s a double-edged sword, our little lives of luxury.
In this country where we are born, are we truly free?

So stand up and fight! Let your voices be heard!
Is the life of a senseless peon one preferred?
Show them your might! Raise your glasses high!
For the struggle to fight for what’s right has always been nigh!


All the wealth, all the wealth lies in their hands and they hope they’re above it all
But they don’t know, they don’t know all of our plans, for we shall rise up and they shall fall
Do we rebel, do we rebel against a society that made us who we are?
Should we promote, should we promote anarchy if it’s not going to get us anywhere?

La-da-da La-da-da-da
La-da-da La-da-da-da
La-da-da La-da-da-da
La-da-da La-da-da-d

So shout out, so shout out for your liberty and make the world what you want it to be.
Go and help, go and help, the refugee and through his eyes you will see
That these men, that these men, just like you have gone through such pain and suffering
And they are many, they are many and what can you do? For changing the world is not an easy thing.

La-da-da La-da-da-da
La-da-da La-da-da-da
La-da-da La-da-da-da
La-da-da La-da-da-da
La-da-da La-da-da-da
La-da-da La-da-da-da
