lyrics

We'll take it back, all they stole
All the life inside your soul
We were made to work for a common lord
And feudalized for a useless war but no
No I won’t be denied
Of my basic human rights
We will overcome
And sing the songs our father’s sung but no
We’re still waiting

I will not be scared
Or under prepared
We’re not number ones
We’re their bastard sons

Now we turn to our gods
Armani suits of a grand façade
They play the parts they said they would
We play the parts they said we should but no
No I won’t be denied
Of my basic human rights
We will overcome
And sing the songs our father’s sung but no
We’re still waiting

See the streets glow
With passion
And I’m not alone
Hear the band play
We’re coming
We’re coming home

Take it back, all that they stole
All the life inside your soul
We were made to work for a common lord
And feudalized for a useless war but no
We’re still waiting
