Stronger Than You Think Lyrics

by Ryan Harvey

You might be stronger than you think
You might be stronger than you think
Just try to break your fear
So you can think clear
Because you might be stronger than you think

The war's exploding all over the news
The war's exploding all over the news
There's a blackhole in Iraq,
So many never coming back
The war's exploding all over the news
Who's making these plans to go to war?
Who's paying their wages? What do they do it for?
They don't ask or make demands
Our wealth is taken from our hands
And that's why half the country is poor

There'll be no one left alive when they are through
There'll be no one left alive when they are through
They've spent 800 billion bucks this war
And it's escalating more and more
And there'll be no one left alive when they are through
Well where are they getting all these giant weapons?
And who's building all of them?
We build them with our hands
In the factory's of Uncle Scam
Cuz we're trying to feed our kids and pay our rent

Rent is rising up through the roof
Rent is rising up through the roof
Oh how'd it come to be?
The price of property
Cuz rent is rising up through the roof
Someone's setting the scales in this town
They siezed the land and made themselves a crown
But these condos wouldn't stand
If it wasn't for our hands
But they say the neighborhood's much safer now

Another prison's springing up next door
Another prison's springing up next door
There's twice as many doing time
But there's a steady increase in crime
And another prison's springing up next door
Why don't these statistics make sense?
More cops more jails more crime it's pointless!
But every prison planned
Is putting profits in the hands
Of the ACA private-prison business

Oh how can so many be ruled by so few?
Oh how can so many be ruled by so few?
If we all stood tall
This whole system would fall
Oh how can so many be ruled by so few?
We play the game and build our own divisions
Cuz we trust them or they threaten us with prison
But you could spoil all their plans
If you just used your hands
To take your power back, just try it.

Because you might be stronger than you think
You might be stronger than you think
First they'll laugh, then they'll attack
But it can turn around so fast
Because you might be stronger than you think
