Shaking the Tree

Oh
See it on the TV
Hear it on the news
It's no wonder
That we're always confused

The truth counts for nothing
Keep your eye on the prize
They preach their own agenda
'Til you swallow their lies

People in the powerhouse breaking the rules
System is corrupted, they treat us like fools
Time has come to make our voices heard
This war of words, you've gotta

Stand up, stand tall
Revolution's coming, got to answer the call
You gotta rise up to be free
You'll make a difference if you're shakin' the tree

Brainwashed by the media
Screen tells us what's true
Don't need your opinion
'Cause they tell you what to do

These days the buck stops nowhere
No one takes the blame
They say they love their county
But the money hides their shame

The climate's shot to pieces, another forest burns
Somebody else's worry, it's just not our concern
It's not too late to turn this thing around
So stand your ground, you've gotta

Stand up, stand tall
Revolution's coming, got to answer the call
You gotta rise up to be free
You'll make a difference if you're shakin' the tree

We can't give up, we can't give in
Make your voices heard, it's time to begin
A candle's light that shine so bright
As our voices join to fight for what's right

It's not too late to turn this thing around
Stand your ground, you've gotta

Stand up (stand up), stand tall
Revolution's coming, got to answer the call
You gotta rise up (rise up) to be free
You'll make a difference if you're shakin' the tree
You gotta

Stand up (stand up), stand tall
Revolution's coming, got to answer the call
You gotta rise up (rise up) to be free
You'll make a difference if you're shakin' the tree (shakin' the tree)

Shakin' the tree (shakin' the tree)
(Yeah) shakin' the tree
Rise up
Shakin' the tree
