See It Through Lyrics

They got cops on the streets, walking in lines
With tazer guns, and wooden batons
They're trying to keep you scared with violent attacks
It all comes down to how you react
Now you're face to face, seeing it all
Dispersal warnings, they're making the call
They got buses to pack, with people like you
When they did that in the 50's the movement grew
Young student, new to the game
Movement elder, fanning the flames
Combat Veteran, seen it before
Same tactics used in the foreign war
Final warning, you're keeping your ground
Committed people sitting all around
Through the bullhorn it's all distorted
You can't leave now, we can't afford it

[Chorus:]
Hold the line, even if your voice shakes
Friend of mine, even if your voice shakes
Push forward, it's up to you
See it through

Silence breaks, voices are loud
Rubber bullets crack, pierce the crowd
Heart's start pumping, scared but proud
Because there's people still sitting in the tear gas cloud
The line advances, they're swinging the sticks
Hear the marching boots and the tazer clicks
Screaming erupts, someone got struck
People calling for a medic, they better hurry up
Vomit, comes like a flood
Getting choked by the gas, hands covered in blood
Bruised and beaten, limping away
Remember it's always been this way
They'll beat you down, show the guns
It gets violent sometimes, but that how it comes
You stand firm, organize and then come back
Until there's too many people for them to attack

[Chorus]

It's days like this when something clicks
When you're tired, confused and scared as shit
But you're body's alive with that heartfelt drive
And you engage the problem before you eyes
When you could have ran but you stayed and sat
When you were beaten and gassed but you still came back
That courage, that power that you got deep down
That rises to the top when you get beat down
There's a world to win when you're heart is strong
And a dozen news wrongs to focus on
Everyday brings a vision to strive for
Something to live and die for
And you go back home and you're on your own
It's easy to feel like you're all alone
It's through memory and hope that we stay supported
Cuz we can't quit now, we can't afford it
