Destiny's alright when it's in your favor,
I've prayed a thousand prayers, but still there's no good answers
Why does God strand us and save Goldman Sachs
What's the lesson to be learned?
Do I throw my fist at God, Do I throw it at the Church
Do I throw it at the law, do I throw just cause it hurts?
I don't know what to do, but I know I need to get it done
Stranded in the cold, from all the firing
locked out here with nowhere hiring
More than growing numbers, we're real flesh and blood
The people rising up and singing
Look Here!
We're living through the now,
With our lives in the air and our dreams on the ground
We're stranded, we're sweating, but look here,
We won't throw the towel!
New jobs now are outsourced abroad
The modern workforce made of foreign slaves and claws
I'm glad the DC folks care for those down in the valley
But understand this well
That's our own damn fault,
We gave them the power, we gave them the raise
but now there's time for us, for us to make a change!
We're mad as hell and we've had enough!
We can't choose how we're born, but
We can pick what we die for
I want to live for you, I want to die for you
I'm gonna stand by you, I'm gonna march with you
but we can't be alone...I mean just
Look Here
With our lives in the air and our dreams on the ground
We're fighting, we're bleeding, but look here,
We won't throw the towel!
I can't promise that you won't bleed,
I can't promise that you'll succeed,
But I know a better life begins when you and me
take a stand I mean just
Look Here!
We're living through the now,
With our lives in the air and our dreams on the ground
We're stranded, we're sweating, but look here,
We won't throw the towel!
I mean just Look Here!
We're living through the now,
With our lives in the air and our dreams on the ground
We're stranded, we're sweating, we're fighting, we're bleeding,
but look here,
We won't throw the towel!
