The Uprising
It's time to slay the dragon
It's time to end it all
It's time for an uprising
Oh, how the mighty fall
You try to keep us quiet
We can't be reassured
You cannot stop this riot
Our voices will be heard
Cannot lay this to rest
Now it's time to confess
Destroy all you have left
You can't clean up this mess
What are you gonna do
When we can see right through
All that we thought we knew
It all falls down on you
Just find another scapegoat
Another whipping boy
Someone to take the blame for
The things that you destroy
Just puppets on a string
Pull their marionette
You hide from everything
But we'll never forget
You laid them all to rest
Now it's time to confess
Destroy all you have left
You can't clean up this mess
What are you gonna do
When we rise against you
Uncovering the truth
It all falls down on you
Two eyes of mutiny still burn
Grabbing the world by the balls at every turn
You tell us what you're doing is none of our concern
Over the years, a lot of hard-ass lessons to learn
And with the eye on the prize, it gets harder to earn
But here we go, steadily marching to the White House lawn
Gonna tell them exactly what's been going on
Look around in your own country at all this hunger and disease
While you spend billions overseas on our well-known enemies
Enforce your power upon the people and make them follow your demands
And as soon as they question it, you hold that Bible up in your hands
You hide behind religion so you can justify your hate
But what ever happened to the separation of church and state
The constitution don't apply when you're sending them out to die
And feeding all your people the most obvious of lies
We keep on sending in petitions but you're never gonna listen
So here we come, it's time to rise up against these politicians
Cannot lay this to rest
Now it's time to confess
Destroy all you have left
You can't clean up this mess
What are you gonna do
When we rise against you
Uncovering the truth
It all falls down on you
It's time to end it all
It's time for an uprising
Oh, how the mighty fall
You try to keep us quiet
We can't be reassured
You cannot stop this riot
Our voices will be heard
Cannot lay this to rest
Now it's time to confess
Destroy all you have left
You can't clean up this mess
What are you gonna do
When we can see right through
All that we thought we knew
It all falls down on you
Just find another scapegoat
Another whipping boy
Someone to take the blame for
The things that you destroy
Just puppets on a string
Pull their marionette
You hide from everything
But we'll never forget
You laid them all to rest
Now it's time to confess
Destroy all you have left
You can't clean up this mess
What are you gonna do
When we rise against you
Uncovering the truth
It all falls down on you
Two eyes of mutiny still burn
Grabbing the world by the balls at every turn
You tell us what you're doing is none of our concern

You can't clean up this mess
What are you gonna do
When we rise against you
Uncovering the truth
It all falls down on you
