lyrics

ain't it an act of terror to keep the power all for yourself?
ain't it criminal to be trapped in poverty and summer heat?
well if history is anything to be believed
they wanna keep us blackout drunk and lightless on the street

we pose for a poorly thought out picture
as if the disbelief in our surroundings
captures a sense of unity or overcoming
chastised by a fleshed out tool of everything wrong

can you expect the show to keep going on when they darken the stage?
how much more do we have left for them to steal?
they can take the mics they can take the amps they can take our cash
but they can never take the power hiding in blackout nights

we pose for a poorly thought out picture
as if the disbelief in our surroundings
captures a sense of unity or overcoming
chastised by a fleshed out tool of everything wrong

bees are dying
trees are dying
child detainees are dying
we're all trying
to stop the lying
we're the power we're supplying
i'm done with sighing
the voices crying
let's all get our fists a-flying
let's all get our fists a-flying
let's all get our fists a-flying

we pose for a poorly thought out picture
as if the disbelief in our surroundings
captures a sense of unity or overcoming
chastised by a fleshed out tool of everything wrong
