Lyrics
[verse]
Stand up, the speakers on the corner start to burn
Every word they're feeding you, it's your turn to learn
They built the cages pretty so you wouldn't see
The lock they're turning, turning quietly
[verse]
They want you quiet, they want you in a line
Following the leader, swallowing the line
They sell you comfort wrapped in a shining flag
While the truth gets buried in a plastic bag
[chorus]
Know your enemy, know the ones who lie
Know the ones who profit while the rest of us die
Don't stay silent, don't stay in the back
Stand up together and take the power back
[verse]
Turn the volume up until the static breaks
Every rule they made was a rule they made for stakes
We don't need permission, we don't need the crown
We're the ones who built it, we can tear it down
[chorus]
Know your enemy, know the ones who lie
Know the ones who profit while the rest of us die
Don't stay silent, don't stay in the back
Stand up together and take the power back
[bridge]
Violence, violence, it's not the only way
But silence, silence, it won't save the day
Rise up, rise up, and shout it from the street
Rise up together till the two worlds meet
[chorus]
Know your enemy, know the ones who lie
Know the ones who profit while the rest of us die
Don't stay silent, don't stay in the back
Stand up together and take the power back
