Rise Lyrics - Fight With Tools - Flobots

So much pain, we 

Don't know how to be but angry 

Feel infected like we've got gangrene 

Please don't let anybody try to change me 

Me 

Just me 

In the middle of a sea full of faces 

Full of faces 

Some laugh some salivate 

Whats in your alleyway 

Recycling bins or bullet cases 

Its not equal 

Its not fair 

Were different people 

But were not scared 

We ain't never scared 

To pave a new path 

Make a new street 

Build a new bridge 

Say can you see by the dawns early light 

Free slaves running 

Songs words weren't right 

Now a new days coming 

The few stay stunning while the many are handsome 

Your soul is alive but they want it for ransom 

The base drumming is the anthem 

We step to the heartbeats of our granddaughters and grandsons 

And 

Rise together 

We rise together 

Lost hope and found need 

Grounded by our surroundings 

Did the walls scream universities 

Or you and I verse the tees 

React automatic and we burst when squeezed 

And make 9-11 each emergency 

Urgency amber to red like the turning leaves 

Oh please let the hurting cease 

Don't let apathy police the populace 

We will march across 

Those stereotypes that were marked for us 

The answers obvious 

We switch the consonants 

Change the sword to words and lift continents 

Rise together 

We rise together 

If you believe in redemption 

I'm calling to you from another dimension (Repeat)
