lyrics

Make the call and I let it ring
This operator’s gonna take my name
Cause I wanna say - no, it’s not okay
The gate is up, but they closed the lane
You send them back to their cage again
Fuck your wall - it pulls us apart

Stand up - you gotta make a sound now
Get down - gonna make you read your rights
Man up - time to take a chance now
Stand down - hope that we get out alive
…that we make it out alive

Stepping back in time
We’re clueless, we’re over polluting
And we watch the world as it crumbles
Stepping back in time
At the rate we’re going we’ll burn it to the ground

Seeking out xenophobia
I tend to think that we’ll break these borders down
Not getting younger
Stressed out by the weight of the fear that consumes their souls

Stand up - you gotta make a sound now
Get down - gonna make you read your rights
Man up - time to take a chance now
Stand down - hope that we get out alive
…that we make it out alive
