The stain of these times
Cuts right into our lives
These conflict days they kill
They wear us down
Blood stains the ground
The belt it has tightened
The green has gone thin
Recession speak is spreading
We hear the sound of fear spun round
They say to stay calm, we know better
The rich staying rich the upsetter
Organize you working poor
What are you what are you waiting for?
Let's take a chance and tear it down
What are you waiting for
Come on along, roll with the strong
and kick this rebel song
We're battered and torn from going along
The pain of sacrifice runs over us
Who can we trust
This system it uses corrupts and abuses
Every person in it
For far too long
So much is wrong
They say to stay calm, we know better
The rich staying rich the upsetter
Organize you working poor
What are you waiting for
They say to stay calm, we know better
The rich staying rich the upsetter
Organize you working poor
What are you what are you waiting for
Let's take a chance and tear it down
What are you waiting for
Come on along, roll with the strong
and kick this rebel song
Our time has come to rise above
This climate of defeat
Come rally round the people's sound
And kick this rebel song
Failure to quit will be our cry
The odds are tough but we must try
To take action do what we can
To take it back this is our land
Take a chance and tear it down
What are you waiting for
Come on along, roll with the strong
and kick this rebel song
Our time has come to rise above
This climate of defeat
Come rally round the people's sound
And kick this rebel song
