Rise Up Lyrics

[Intro]
Another year has past
He's stuck behind the glass
The corporate machine
That crushes hopes and dreams
Where did it all go wrong?
It's not where we belong
Is this the final straw?
I'm screaming out for more

[Verse 1]
OK, I confess I've been feeling stressed
Thinking evil thoughts when it's time to rest
What you stand for really does not interest me
Now that we digress into nothingness
Pointless, nostaglic logic with emptiness
What you stand for really does not concern me
The room started spinning
The red mist descending
Make your move for the door
Kick over chairs
And run down the stairs
I just can't take anymore

[Chorus]
Rise up, join the revolution
Take away the lies
Leave this institution
Rise up, join the revolution
Take away the lies
Leave this institution

[Verse 2]
My head's heavy now, this is killing me
All these simple minds that just can't agree
What you strive for really does not affect me
Can you see yourself as you try your best
Slave to power, so confused and self obsessed
What you strive for really does not impress me
The room started spinning
The red mist descending
Make your move for the door
Kick over chairs
And run down the stairs
I just can't take anymore

[Chorus]
Rise up, join the revolution
Take away the lies
Leave this institution
Rise up, join the revolution
Take away the lies
Leave this institution

[Bridge]
Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise...
I hear you calling
Are we still falling...?

[Chorus]
Rise up, join the revolution
Take away the lies
Leave this institution
Rise up, join the revolution
Take away the lies
Leave this institution
Rise up, join the revolution
Take away the lies
Leave this institution
Rise up, join the revolution
(Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up)
Take away the lies
Leave this institution
