Just remember Things get worse before they ever get better And there's only two choices you can make Run away or stand and fight One day we all have to decide Where we stand and if we're willing to use our voice Has your heart grown cold and your anger died Or can you hear those distant cries And the promise of a better day to come Will you pander and fall To a system that controls your life To a government That has no interest in mine Will you bury your head and close your eyes Or clench your fists and defy Together we can cripple this machine Has your heart grown cold and your anger died Or can you hear those distant cries And the promise of a better day to come One voice can break the silence Be the fire that sparks the riot Our discontent will light the flame One fist can smash the barricade Throw the brick through their charade We won't believe the lies anymore Resist and rise above Resist and rise above All you can do is all that you can It's up to you and I to take control
