lyrics

I've got a lot to say about the way we're heading out of this life
Do we stay the same or change?
I've got a lot of questions but no one around here will ever answer me
I've got a lot of questions but no one around here will ever answer me

(Get up! Get up!)
You've got a lot to learn about where your moneys burnt
Stealing politicians with their corrupt policies "don't do nothing for me"
(Get up! Get up!)
You've got a lot to learn about making your voice heard
We'll feel the weight of the world on our shoulders
But it wont weigh us down

Lets do this one more time
Breathe it in, breathe it out just to prove you're still alive
And I know we'll find the answers
You've had a million chances
But no one around here will give you another one
You've had a million chances
But no one around here will give you another one

Speak now or forever hold your peace
