Watch it all go down the great big sink Watch how the scum, it rises to the top Don't you wonder when it's all gonna stop? Sometimes I wonder how we do sleep Servin' the dodgy company we keep Kickin' and scraggin' for the very first place Dictionary definition of a rat race Pay off those losers we elected to lead Feed 'em from the mouths of the many to feed Enslaved in the very clothes upon my back I feel the sting, but I hear no crack, no crack, I'm singin' Runnin' through the fire, runnin' through the flame Runnin' through the hatred, pushin' through the blame Runnin' through the hopelessness and shame Revolution already underway Big heavy powers, man, diggin' those holes Messin' with somethin' that they can't control Trespassin' lands where they don't belong All I hear are screams where there once were songs I got my brothers that are fightin' those wars Fightin' over scraps, man, scrapin' their souls Under a blanket of fire and pride That can't keep us warm for the cold inside, inside, I'm singin' Runnin' through the fire, runnin' through the flame Runnin' through the hatred, pushin' through the blame Runnin' through the hopelessness and shame Revolution already underway You tell me when you think we're gonna rise Wake from this slumber, wipe the tears from our eyes Please from this nightmare, yes, I must know when Open my fist, my destiny I'll take Good people sick and tired and pushed around We call them kings, but I see no crown You tell me when you think we'll just stand up Say enough is enough is enough, enough, I'm singin' Runnin' through the fire, runnin' through the flame Runnin' through the hatred, pushin' through the blame Runnin' through the hopelessness and shame Revolution already underway Take back your feet, take back your hands Take back your words, take back your land Take back your heart, take back your pride Don't got to run, don't got to hide Revolution come, revolution underway Revolution, oh, revolution, hey Revolution come, revolution underway Revolution, oh, revolution, hey Revolution come, revolution underway Revolution, oh, revolution, hey Revolution come, revolution underway Revolution, oh, revolution, hey Revolution come, revolution underway Revolution, oh, revolution, hey Revolution come, revolution underway Revolution, oh, revolution, hey
