[00:21.29]I wanna talk about a sound, a voice, a freedom, rejoice.
[00:24.35]I can't stay silent while you take away our choice.
[00:26.79]The guns, the armour, the gossip, the drama.
[00:29.16]The innocent, guilty, we're all free of karma.
[00:31.69]The nation, the rules, the patient, the fools,
[00:33.94]The picket lines inside, to close down schools,
[00:36.31]A chance we take, the path we tread,
[00:38.67]You can't cry 'freedom', when you're standing on the dead,
[00:40.50]
[00:41.05]Nobody put this in me, I only wanna get free,
[00:43.46]Battered out of hatred, jealousy, envy,
[00:45.81]Liars, the fakes, the funerals, the wakes,
[00:48.20]The life we live, you give, it takes,
[00:50.45]The stones we cast, the future, the past,
[00:52.99]The laws we break, too slow, too fast,
[00:55.28]The highs, the lows, we fell, we rose,
[00:57.62]Wi' happiness or woes, we come and we go...
[00:59.93]
[01:01.89]GO!
[01:02.80]I sing revolution while you're trying to silence me,
[01:07.58]My resolution for a life I can lead,
[01:12.18]Adversity has become part of my destiny
[01:16.70]I'd rather die on my feet, than ever live on my knees.
[01:22.56]
[01:25.23]And all I'm hearing is the news,
[01:26.78]The shots, the bombs, the plots,
[01:28.66]We separate and divide, the streets, the blocks,
[01:30.94]The free, the brave, the dead, the grave,
[01:33.39]Everyday combat, the ones you couldn't save,
[01:35.70]The scars, the cracks, the science, the facts,
[01:38.04]Religion, control, the knife in our backs,
[01:40.40]The found, the lost, we pay, the cost,
[01:42.77]Genocide inside, we're taken by the cross,
[01:44.68]
[01:45.18]Somebody put this in me, I only wanted to see,
[01:47.66]An end to all this hatred, jealously, envy,
[01:50.07]The fires, the scrapes, the records, the tapes,
[01:52.35]The weak, the strong, the love, the hate,
[01:54.67]The sails, the masts, no future, no past,
[01:57.02]Abuse we take, too slow, too fast,
[01:59.41]The highs, the lows, we fell, we rose,
[02:01.76]Wi' happiness or woes, we come and we go...
[02:04.20]
[02:05.90]GO!
[02:06.74]I sing revolution while you're trying to silence me,
[02:11.69]My resolution for a life I can lead,
[02:16.40]Adversity has become part of my destiny
[02:21.00]I'd rather die on my feet, than ever live on my
[02:25.01]
[02:25.69]I sing revolution singing 'Oh, are you hearing me?'
[02:30.74]My own solution for a new enemy,
[02:35.21]I close your arms, fall on you, lost in this misery,
[02:40.10]I'd rather die on my feet, than ever live on my
[02:44.75]I'd rather die on my feet, than ever live on my
[02:49.47]I'd rather die on my feet, than ever live on my knees.

[03:05.55]All pray! judge and leaders
[03:08.05]You made us, none believers,
[03:10.27]These graves that you leave us,
[03:12.77]Replace your promised freedom.
[03:14.93]All pray! judge and leaders
