For The People
Of the people, by the people
For the people, tell everyone
We will rise up to fight your evil
We the people, we'll overcome
Yeah
We ain't part
Of the war that you are fighting in our name
You can't say
It's for the good of this ol' country just the same
We don't want
A holy war, no we just tryin' to live in peace
There's no way
We're proud of things you do, to say the least
(Say the least)
Of the people, by the people
For the people, tell everyone
We will rise up to fight your evil
We the people, we'll overcome
'Cause I'm not ready to give up on us all
Said my dreams aren't of airplanes
Ain't got no gold or silver to my name
I don't need to win my battles
With a pistol, any man would do the same
Don't say you do this for us
When you don't even know who we are
We just need love and our families
Sun on a cloudy day can go so far
(Go so far)
And it's high time we remembered
Of the people, by the people
For the people, tell everyone
We will rise up to fight your evil
We the people, we'll overcome
Of the people, by the people
For the people, tell everyone
We will rise up to fight your evil
We the people, we'll overcome
'Cause I'm not ready to give up on us all
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Of the people, by the people
For the people, tell everyone
We will rise up to fight your evil
We the people, we'll overcome
Of the people, by the people
For the people, tell everyone
We will rise up to fight your evil
We the people, we'll overcome
Of the people, by the people
For the people, tell everyone
We will rise up to fight your evil
We the people, we'll overcome
For the people, tell everyone
We will rise up to fight your evil
We the people, we'll overcome
Yeah
We ain't part
Of the war that you are fighting in our name
You can't say
It's for the good of this ol' country just the same
We don't want
A holy war, no we just tryin' to live in peace
There's no way

Oh, yeah
Of the people, by the people
For the people, tell everyone
We will rise up to fight your evil
We the people, we'll overcome
Of the people, by the people
For the people, tell everyone
We will rise up to fight your evil
We the people, we'll overcome
Of the people, by the people
For the people, tell everyone
We will rise up to fight your evil
We the people, we'll overcome
