Be Up In Arms

Throw your bodies in the streets, Burn in the heat and listen to the blaring screens
Another leader demands your taxes, Ready your speech and sharpen your axes
They suck like leeches, Draining your blood, Searching for a disease that does not exist
Reach up to the heavens, Pray for god but be up in arms, Only you can keep your children from harm

It’s come to an ultimatum, It’s come to choosing a side and accepting the consequences
It’s come to war, It’s come to killing brothers and jailing children and sisters
Have you come to fight or come to win, It’s the difference between freeing your skin or freeing your mind
Free your people, Throw your bodies into the machine, Let’s break down every society

Charge the complacent politicians, Smashing televisions and graffiti over warnings
Charge the complacent religions, Burning bibles and rewriting their commandments
Charge the complacent schools, Overturning desks and taking chalk to the lesson plans
Charge the complacent criminals, Destroying crack pipes and throwing coke into the eyes of profiteers
