Lyrics

So tell me family, now what do you think? Watch it all go down the great big sink Watch how the scum it rises to the top Don't you wonder when it's all gonna stop? Sometimes I wonder how we do sleep Serving the dodgy companies we keep All kicking and scrounging for the very first place Dictionary definition of a rat race Pay off those losers we elect to lead Stealing from the mouths that we're meant to feed Enslaving the very clothes upon my back I feel the sting but I hear no crack, no crack, I'm sayin' Running through the fire, running through the flame Running through the hatred, pushing through the blame Running through the hopelessness and shame Revolution already underway Big heavy pirates man digging those holes Messing with something that they can't control Trespassing lands where they don't belong All I hear is screaming whee, there once were songs I got my brothers there fighting those wars Fighting over scraps and scraping their sores Under a blanket of a fire and pride That can't keep us warm for the cold inside, inside, I'm saying Running through the fire, running through the flame Running through the hatred, pushing through the blame Running through the hopelessness and shame Revolution already underway So tell me when you think we're gonna rise? Wake from this slumber wipe the tears from our eyes? Yes from this nightmare yes I must now wake Open my fist my destiny I take Good people sick and tired of being pushed around We call them kings but I see no crown. Tell me when you think we'll just stand up? Say enough is enough is enough, enough, I'm saying Running through the fire, running through the flame Running through the hatred, pushing through the blame Running through the hopelessness and shame Revolution already underway Take back your feet, take back your hands Take back your words take back your land Take back your heart, take back your pride Don't got to run, don't got to hide Revolution
