So many of us underground
You could swim, though you'd probably drown
But your mind is already made up
And you do things to hate
To protect all the people you love
I know we can make it fall
If enough have our backs to the wall
Yeah, I know it won't change a damn thing
Politicians will steal all our youth
As they squander our dreams
My heart, it beats so slow
Yeah, when I realize
That I may be wrong
But regardless, rebellion's my answer
When they offer none
You and I sing an urban hymn
The richest of men can't deny
That a song lifts hope to a thousand feet
Our last defense in life
I know we can make it fall
If enough have our backs to the wall
Yeah I know we can make it fall
