Sit Back and Wait

I'm always told that someone else will fight for me An ivory tower populace who knows just what I need I'm done waiting for the movement that they promised we'd all see Yeah it's high time to push aside this stagnant apathy So I'll push on stronger than the day before And I'll keep on fighting back 'cause I want more And I'll scream for change until my lungs are sore No I won't sit back and wait I've finally come to realize that most won't understand Why at 25 I go to shows with Xs on my hands But I don't want your approval if it means molding to your shape And I sure as hell won't explain myself to keep you feeling safe So when the path ahead gets overgrown I'll make my own way through Yeah I'll push on stronger than the day before And I'll keep on fighting back 'cause I want more And I'll scream for change until my lungs are sore No I won't sit back and wait You know that feeling, the judgement and the silent stares Send your mind reeling, wondering if it's wrong to care, so just Hold your ground, just hold your ground Just hold your ground, yeah hold your ground And when the path ahead gets overgrown You'll make your own way through You've got to push on stronger than the day before And keep on fighting back 'cause you want more And you'll scream for change until your lungs are sore No you won't sit back and wait No you won't sit back and wait No you won't sit back and wait
