Whatever this is, it ain't us
Who do you fear? Who can you trust?
See the evil, turn and run
Shield your eyes when the tear gas comes
Crumbling buildings can’t save us now
Times like these, there’s only one way out
Speak the truth while you still can
Be a chorus heard across the land
You’ll never take my voice from me
You can't beat me then tell me I'm free
So send your goons into our streets
‘Cause we're millions more than you will ever be
Scrolling past me on a screen
Are sights I never thought I'd see
Raids and camps and shocktroop cops
Gassing crowds for photo-ops
Throwing citizens in unmarked vans
A president with blood-stained hands
Bounties on our soldiers heads
Two hundred thousand people dead
You’ll never take my voice from me
You can't beat me then tell me I'm free
So send your goons into our streets
‘Cause we're millions more than you will ever be
Whatever this is, it ain't us
Who do you fear? Who do you trust?
Look the evil in the eyes
Lock arms when the tear gas flies
You’ll never take my voice from me
You can't beat me then tell me I'm free
So send your goons into our streets
‘Cause we're millions more than you will ever be
Millions more

Seven Generations

When you drive through here
You lock your doors
When you say “all lives”
You just mean yours
If you actually cared
about your fellow man
You wouldn’t have to draw
that line in the sand
It takes seven generations
To heal the pain
When will you learn
We all bleed the same
You keep asking what
about the other side?
When the finger points at you
You turn around and hide
You need skin as thick
As the bark of a pine
If you want to grow out
Of your fragile lies
It takes seven generations
To heal the pain
When will you learn
We all bleed the same
What we say now
Will echo through the years
It’s time to choose the words
Our children’s children hear
Will you stand and fight
Or watch from the side
Is your conscience clean
When you sleep at night
It takes seven generations
To heal the pain
It’s time you learned
We all bleed the same
