To Be Content Songtext
Today we learn the end that justifies the means
Waiting for revolution from another′s hands
It's right now
In silent streets policemen punish the unfed
Established by a system built on the backs of the working dead
The blue lights try to drown what flourishes when we resist their fear
They try to beat us down but still we rise
We are the ones we′re waiting for
This is the here and now
When they build a wall to keep us in place
We can tear it down
And now's the time
The city's ribs, the tenements
Hold hope and the strength to grow
It spreads in crowded basements
And fills out our hollow bones
Resistance swells up through the floorboards
When we realize what′s inside
It′s louder than bombs and thicker than blood
Like flames in the darkest night
We are the ones we're waiting for
This is the here and now
When they build a wall to keep us in place
We can tear it down
We are the ones we′re waiting for
This is the here and now
When they build a wall to keep us in place
We can tear it down
Waiting for revolution from another′s hands
It's right now
In silent streets policemen punish the unfed
Established by a system built on the backs of the working dead
The blue lights try to drown what flourishes when we resist their fear
They try to beat us down but still we rise
We are the ones we′re waiting for
This is the here and now
When they build a wall to keep us in place
We can tear it down
And now's the time
The city's ribs, the tenements
Hold hope and the strength to grow
It spreads in crowded basements
And fills out our hollow bones
Resistance swells up through the floorboards
When we realize what′s inside
It′s louder than bombs and thicker than blood
Like flames in the darkest night
We are the ones we're waiting for
This is the here and now
When they build a wall to keep us in place
We can tear it down
We are the ones we′re waiting for
This is the here and now
When they build a wall to keep us in place
We can tear it down
