Peaceful Protest (Coup D'etat)

Ready to tear it up
Ready? I'm ready to tear it down
Ready? I'm ready to burn it up
Ready? I'm ready to burn it down
Ready to tear it up
Ready? I'm ready to tear it down
Ready? I'm ready to burn it up
Ready? I'm ready to burn it down

How did your parents raise you
Don't you know that we are lost
Lost all in this maze too
I just wanna get across
That we need some new rules
Shoulda been left, c'mon dude
Let me help escort you
Scorch you

Feelin' ready, yeah I'm ready to riot
Ready to riot, the government tryin'
To make people fight for their freedom
When the papers say that we're supposed to be equal
If we're supposed to be equal, then why the hate preachin'
We learned about Jim Crow, but live in the sequel
Give the country back off to the people
And when the ship's sinkin', you got a rebreather and
Flint finally has clean water
But you got enough money saved up
For ivy college for your daughter's daughters
So you can see your daughter smile
So you can feel so proud
So you can turn a blind eye
So you can, so you can tell 'em bout how
This place is mad and you don't know why

Ready to tear it up
Ready? I'm ready to tear it down
Ready? I'm ready to burn it up
Ready? I'm ready to burn it down
Ready to tear it up
Ready? I'm ready to tear it down
Ready? I'm ready to burn it up
Ready? I'm ready to burn it down

Yet they say we gotta vote
Because they know it's too damn slow
Change won't come from Lord alone
Let's band together and revolt
Still we dyin' in the streets
By their hands when we have candy
Hands in the air prayin'
Lord, please don't let him kill me
White people be like
White privilege don't exist
What's the fuss about this myth
That's probably just some nigga shit
They lookin' for a handout
Always makin' excuses
We live in different realities
Your ignorance is bliss
("Revolution")

Ready to tear it up
Ready? I'm ready to tear it down
Ready? I'm ready to burn it up
Ready? I'm ready to burn it down
Ready to tear it up
Ready? I'm ready to tear it down
Ready? I'm ready to burn it up
Ready? I'm ready to burn it down

How did your parents raise you
Don't you know that we are lost
Lost all in this maze too
I just wanna get across
That we need some new rules
Shoulda been left, c'mon dude
Let me help escort you
Scorch you
