(rise) (resist) Smoke in the streets,
they sweep it away
Locking the doors on the light of day
Sell us the promise,
then pocket the fee Who is the master and who is the
free? (shhh)
They build the walls to block out the sound
But we are the roots,
we shake up the ground
No silence!
We refuse to fade!
Tear down the cage that your hands have made!
Rise up!
No more running in place!
Look at the fire that you have to face!
Paper-cut laws to keep us in line Counting the hours on a
stolen clock's time We are the labor,
the heat and the gears But we're not the currency bought with
your fears
They think we're sleeping (sleeping)
They think we're blind (blind)
Resist, rise,
refuse.
(yeah) Refuse to be silenced!
