You think I'm harmless but I see your back's against the wall And when I stand you see me stand and I stand ten feet tall It's not a matter of opinion but a fact that's all I'm gonna say And with every little letter building every bigger word Escaping all embargoes that a conscious would have stirred Well it hurts, it burns but it's the lesson that we've learned Oh that we were meant to rise, oh yeah we were meant to rise Singing everybody knows, everybody knows We gonna go tear it apart at the seams They gonna see, oh they gonna see Cause when the walls fall down you're the big old empty I wasn't looking for an alibi I wasn't looking for your drive-by sympathies Balancing a line between the self and selfless tendencies Oh I've seen it before And did you ever take a moment just to think about the implications Cause I'm tired of hearing excuses so often When it's an obvious fear of a lack of attention Singing everybody knows, everybody knows We gonna go tear it apart at the seams They gonna see, oh they gonna see Cause when the walls fall down you're the big old empty
