We begin with the heat, yeah
Destruction and turmoil,
But this is the fire,
That will refurbish the soil.
(And) We stand
United in our discomfort.
We're getting stronger every summer.
We stay awake while (the) other's slumber.
Breathing deep,
Through every little piece of air
Wonder if I'll stay strong enough, long enough
Because they don't fight fair.
They turn on the people,
Forgotten where they are from.
Forget that the air (that) they are breathing,
Is the same that fills our lungs.
(Chorus)
We can be angry, we can be violent
We ca stand by, we can be silent
Or we could. . .
Resist the changes - the war of ages,
That they wage while we pay their wages.
We could say. . .
We could say 1, 2, 3,
Sad (and) we've been here before
Its about time they remember
Who it is they're working for.
(Cause) We know the strength and the power,
And the power in the persistence,
So respect our existence or expect our resistance,
Every time, yeah.
Expect our resistance every time.
People told to "hold tight".
Say it's going to go better with em'.
Time after time we do what they don't for us,
And we forgive em'.
And it's gone on now for a bit to long
Since my granddad was born.
They've been lying to us about their family,
Trying to keep us tore.
But now I see that us and them,
Sad, it's only a game to you.
Because when we talk to one another,
Sad, we know that that ain't true.
Cause' I am you and you are me,
And we are one - we're family.
It's only them who want to see us turn away from unity.
(Chorus)
There is an "us" in "them",
But it ain't me and you (repeat).
