I'm tired of bein' sad & lonely
Tired of tryin' not to think of you
Been too long since I've raised these hands
I'm tired of havin' somethin' to prove
Another day on the daily dole
Another day in unemployment lines
Keep askin' me how I'm doin'
I'm doin' just f!@#in' fine
Wake up to the truth America
We've fallen for the seventh time
Keep lookin' for the seventh sign
Four horses on a final ride
I'm tired of always sittin' back
Waitin' for the seventh seal to crack
Fists clenched need somethin' big to hit
Swingin' my sling you're too big to miss
I'm tired of all the empty words
So I'm sellin' my cloaks for swords
Time to get up
Time to get up now
Time to get up
Time to get up now
This ain't no time for lovin'
It's time for a battle plan
Waitin' for a sign above
But the sign is right in your hands
White knuckles wrapped around a lie
Crush it down time to let 'em fly
In the garden sweatin' blood tonight
But on this altar I hold the knife
I'm tired of all the empty words
So I'm sellin' my cloak for swords
Time to get up
Time to get up now
Time to get up
Time to get up now
Get up
Stand up
Fight for more
Get up
Stand up
Fight your war
Get up
Stand up
Fight for more
Get up
Stand up
Fight your war
Get up
Stand up
Fight for more
Get up
Stand up
Fight your war
Lord, lord, lord, lord
Time to get up
Time to get up now
Time to get up
Time to get up now
Get up
Stand up
Fight for more
Get up
Stand up
Fight your war
Time to get up
Time to get up now
Get up
Stand up
Fight for more
Get up
Stand up
Time to get up
Time to get up now
