there's more of us

than there is of them

but no one

wants to go first

yet something

has to happen

before it gets

a whole lot worse

they’ve divided

and

they've conquered

they got us all

got us all

got us up against the wall

and that

my friend is how

even the mightiest

of empires fall

stupid old men are stoking

a hornet’s nest of angry fires

sycophancy rules supreme

our elected pack of liars

we wait with bated breath

as total chaos now ensues

here we stand at a tipping point

with everything to lose

fighting for oil

united by greed

indiscriminately bombing

those in need

now is the time

to stand up and be counted

now is the time

to be brave

so now i guess

i'll be seeing you...

on the front line

or in a mass grave
