We’re pulling hard, we’re on both sides – as if we have a reason why
We’re going out, we’re coming in, we’re reaching out – it’s stretching thin
It’s not long until it snaps! Snaps! snaps!
They tap the lines, they listen in, they’re doing everything they can
To keep us safe, to hold us dear, to shelter us from what we fear.
Our countries, our fathers, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Our sisters, our daughters, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Give up – don’t try. Last chance, last fight.
You’ll go, they’ll come
I’ll hide – I’ll run…
One side signs the bills and controls all the cash, wealthy people living powerful lives.
Other side is calling for revolution, they say “there is no choice; it is the only way!”
One side signs the bills and controls all the cash: Wealthy people!
Everyday we’re searching for trust in the eyes of our senators, of our generals…
Or the people will rise up!
Our countries, our fathers, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Our sisters, our daughters, oh, oh, oh, oh.
We’ve got people situated in high places now!
