lyrics

Our Fathers had vision Our Fathers Understood
That Power corrupts and Leads to no Good
For all of the Change Too much stays the Same
And in the end we’re only to blame

This must come to an end
There’s only room to break there’s no more room to bend
But screaming for change will take more than whispers
Action starts now… Brothers and Sisters

What Can We Do To See this Through?
When they have the guns and they have the funds
To silence our tongues and slaughter our sons
They shut down the protest and choke out the repressed
They prey on the distressed and stomp out the oppressed

We Have to Learn…(Let It All Burn)
We have to learn that now is our turn
To get what we yearn and watch it all burn
We’re at zero hour our voice must get louder
Expose the cowards and take back the power

We must hit them where it hurts

We Know We’re Right But How Do We Fight
You ain’t makin changes by holding a sign
They’ll give you a token and keep you in line
The challenge today is to educate
To get on the in and not assimilate
Instead of breaking We’ll change all the laws
They’ll win some battles but We’ll win the war
This road won’t be easy it’s all uphill
They’ll fight to end and challenge our wills
There’s always been talk of going this route
But it always fell short and carried no clout
They’ll think it silly but I have no doubt
Its time to fight from the inside out
1000 on the outside or 1 on the in
Who’ll make a difference in who’s gonna win
Conspiracy theories are always too late
While riots and protests they don’t change the state
Get off the sidelines and get into the game
Become the system and then make a change

You Can’t Break The System From The Outside In

What is the answer When you can’t cut out the cancer?
No More tokens Or promises Broken
Get in the game To see a change
