Countries
For it is, as your mayor has said
An offense not only against history
But an offense against humanity
Separating families
Husbands and wives and brothers and sisters
And dividing a people
Who wish to be joined together
Freedom has many difficulties
And democracy is not perfect
But we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in
These countries that you throw your support behind
Are looking down upon you, they don't fight by your side
They hold you up as martyrs but laugh as you die
The promises of valor, honor and pride
Are nothing but a coffin full of lies
Time for dissenting voices to cry
No one's gonna take me alive
They just keep playing these political games
Reduce the value of our lives down to numbers for political gain
Overreaching orders pushing people across borders
Making puppet governments to kill with different names
The roots are withered, rotten with corruption and waste
Toy soldiers follow orders with a boot on your face
Hate is overtaking so we must cooperate
Stand up and fight! Now's the time for change!
Now's the time for change!
These countries that you throw your support behind
Are looking down upon you, they don't fight by your side
They hold you up as martyrs but laugh as you die
The promises of valor, honor and pride
Are nothing but a coffin full of lies
Time for dissenting voices to cry
No one's gonna take me alive
They will make us wait
We must cooperate
We must make the world
Into a better place
Classical villains are gassing civilians
They massacre millions and pass the burden of their deaths on the backs of our children
So don't you ask me how I'm actually feeling
Around the globe the savagery killing the masses is maddeningly chilling
Fires light up the skies and there's drones in the air
They've got you facial recognition, you better beware
They got your bank and car info we need to be scared
Cuz when they come for us, you know we better prepare
When they come for us we won't go quietly in the night
Cuz if you step to us we will not finish without a fight
Punch a nazi, I'll die before I give up my rights
Cuz no one's gonna take me alive
No one's gonna take me alive
No one's gonna take me alive
No one's gonna take me alive
An offense not only against history
But an offense against humanity
Separating families
Husbands and wives and brothers and sisters
And dividing a people
Who wish to be joined together
Freedom has many difficulties
And democracy is not perfect
But we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in
These countries that you throw your support behind
Are looking down upon you, they don't fight by your side
They hold you up as martyrs but laugh as you die
The promises of valor, honor and pride
Are nothing but a coffin full of lies
Time for dissenting voices to cry
No one's gonna take me alive
They just keep playing these political games
Reduce the value of our lives down to numbers for political gain
Overreaching orders pushing people across borders

No one's gonna take me alive
No one's gonna take me alive
No one's gonna take me alive
