(justify) the lives you left behind when did you forget the fight tell me why you play by their rules you're tricked by their games you mean nothing to them and you'll never escape, (unless you try) you gave in to what you were once against and i'm left preaching to the converted where's the fight gone you're on their side. come on open your eyes like they were before turn round clench your fist and break it down, come on open your eyes like they were before turn round clench your fist (take a deep breath) and tear it down
lyrics by luke
(how does it feel) knowing every line they fed you about freedom meant free marketeering freedom to starve freedom to (obey) where is free speech? where is free thought? (stand up and start fighting back) you are your own weapon unwritten constitution keeps us down (keeps us weak) lives lived in abject fear is the reason power has remained for far too long time to awake rise against. this apathy is killing me is killing everyone who values life over profit. no more sleeping no more fear no more... fear of death fear of life fear of god fear of change fear of failure (forces keep us down, i will conquor this fear). rise against

i've come to believe there's not much to believe in life is a search for genuine ideals do you trust in yourself to discern what to call the truth? or can you rely upon others to spoon-feed principles on how to live your life so what's right? in this world of hatred where greed is accepted. what happened where did we go wrong? take away the politics that we call natural what remains of humanity is love... constant search for something we can call good break down the walls we built from pieces of our broken hearts to find something pure something personal something meaningful... with the right words spoken in sincerity i could give to you something of what i feel can i trust myself not to screw it up? can i trust you not to let me fall? can i trust... can i climb to the top of all my insecurities take a deep breath and jump jump... and hope you'll catch me (i'll catch you) catch me catch me as i fall. as i fall for you...
lyrics by al
does terror beget more terror? is your crusade as moral as you think? are human lives just another way to keep a score? the skies burn bright with stars and hate cameras miss the screams that punctuate the night of burning splinters and of empty homes communities destroyed for the countries that we call our own. we turn our backs we wave our flags we hide our faces (in the lies) two nations linked by a history of bloodshed red white and blue as an empire rises... the symbols of national pride tie us and make us blind we're bound and gagged and we watch our brothers fall victim to a national emergency. how many times have you fought for what you believed to be right? how many times were you taught never to stand up and fight?
