All Of It For All Of Us
I see a huddled mass
Each breath defiance deified
Stand tall with broken backs; your will defines the battle lines
No compromise
When what we lose is not our lives
But our dignity
Their honeyed words try to deprive
I must demur
I must assume you're insincere
I'm not amused by their refusal to appear
Not
One
Step fucking backwards
Not
Now
Never again
No one's alone
So long as every throne
We see is fucking empty
I dream of better days
With their heads severed on display
So don't gamble it away
Don't gamble it away
My spine is an anvil
Where we forge our steel and stolen luck
Each person a bellows
Bellowing that we don't give a fuck
Full hearts
Clear eyes
Sharp knives
Touch one
Touch all
Touch mine
We are the wave, we are the flood; we're biblical
Their reticence for recompense is cyclical
Not
One
Step fucking backwards
Not
Now
Never again
No one's alone
So long as every throne
We see is fucking empty
I dream of better days
With their heads severed on display
So don't gamble it away
Don't gamble it away
As we go marching, marching
In the beauty of the day
A million darkened kitchens
A thousand mill lofts gray
Are touched with all the radiance
That a sudden sun discloses
For the people hear us singing
Bread and roses, bread and roses
No one's alone
So long as every throne
We see is fucking empty
I dream of better days
With their heads severed on display
But you gambled it away
You gambled it away
Each breath defiance deified
Stand tall with broken backs; your will defines the battle lines
No compromise
When what we lose is not our lives
But our dignity
Their honeyed words try to deprive
I must demur
I must assume you're insincere
I'm not amused by their refusal to appear
Not
One
Step fucking backwards
Not
Now
Never again
No one's alone
So long as every throne
We see is fucking empty
I dream of better days
With their heads severed on display
So don't gamble it away
Don't gamble it away
My spine is an anvil
Where we forge our steel and stolen luck
Each person a bellows
Bellowing that we don't give a fuck
Full hearts
Clear eyes
Sharp knives
Touch one
Touch all
Touch mine
We are the wave, we are the flood; we're biblical
Their reticence for recompense is cyclical
Not
One
Step fucking backwards
Not
Now
Never again
No one's alone
So long as every throne
We see is fucking empty
I dream of better days
With their heads severed on display
So don't gamble it away
Don't gamble it away
As we go marching, marching
In the beauty of the day
A million darkened kitchens
A thousand mill lofts gray
Are touched with all the radiance
That a sudden sun discloses
For the people hear us singing
Bread and roses, bread and roses
No one's alone
So long as every throne
We see is fucking empty
I dream of better days
With their heads severed on display
But you gambled it away
You gambled it away
