Rise
Rise up
Damned of the Earth
Damned of the Earth
Rise up, damned of the Earth
Scorned and tattered, no self-worth
The tenets died an academic death
A generation from the blood and the sweat
Rise up, put your papers down
Hear the boots march right outside
Theorize safe in your seat
The struggle never really left the streets
So clever, clever with its opinions
Do you remember how we used to fight?
It wants tenure not opposition
It has the watches, it has the time
It has the watches, it has the time
It has the watches, it has the time
It's time to strike
Rise up, damned of the Earth
Keep the promise of a brand new birth
For everyone that fought before
For every song sung about this war
Rise up, all you wretched souls
We want it all and deserve it all
Rise up, make the powers pay
For every wound that bled the way
You're clever, clever but it's still in you
And I remember how we used to fight
Fuck a defeatist disposition
We have the watches, we have the time
We have the watches, we have the time
We have the watches, we have the time
We need to strike
What's left, what's left
What's left, what's left, what's
Left of the promise that we once made?
What's left, what's left
What's left, what's left, what's
That could chase the vultures away?
What's left, what's left
What's left, what's left, what's
Left of the promise that we once made?
What's left, what's left
What's left, what's left, what's
That could chase the vultures away?
Rise up right now
Rise up right now
Rise up right now
Rise up right now
Rise up right now
Rise up right now
Rise up right now
Rise up right now
Rise up right now
Rise up right now
Rise up right now
Rise up right now
Rise up right now
Rise up right now
Rise up right now
Rise up right now
