Fortune's sold and
Virtue dies
The rich get rich while
We get cast aside
But we won't fall in line
We'll stake our claim and
Raise our fists to the sky
This is our battle cry!
A unifying voice to win the fight
The revolution starts at midnight
We want to believe
In a life that everyone can lead
The revolution's flames will set us free.
Change only comes if we make it ourselves
Kids go broke, the
hungry die, but
you get rich and
turn away your two blind eyes.
Don't think this shit will fly,
We'll break this chain and
Take the world by surprise
This is our battle cry!
A unifying voice to win the fight
The revolution starts at midnight
We want to believe
In a life that everyone can lead
The revolution's flames will set us free.
Change only comes if we make it ourselves
Nothing's quite the same as we were
told that it would be
The future's up to us, we must stay strong
Just wait and see
It won't be easy
We must try everything that we can
Fortune's sold and
Virtue dies
The rich get rich while
We get cast aside
No, we won't fall in line
We'll take you down!
We raise our fists to the sky
This is our battle cry!
A unifying voice to win the fight
The revolution starts at midnight
We want to believe
In a life that everyone can lead
The revolution's flames will set us free.
Change only comes if we make it ourselves
