We're blinded by things we can't see
Have you seen the world, it's going crazy
What is going on?
Opened my eyes and everything was gone
This isn't how it should be!
We've been shaken up this time, but we can do this
As long as we fight the good fight, we're up against the flow
Believe in yourself and face your demons
Your prayers may not save you again this time
Stand up and take back what is yours!
Get up, get up, get up, get up!
We will rise up, we will rise up together
Get up, get up, get up, get up and carry on!
Get up, get up, get up, get up!
We won't stay down, we won't stay down forever
Get up, get up, get up, get up and carry on!
We're victims of society
We live in a world of make believe
And now everything's wrong
Oh, can't you see it's been this way for so long
How did we end up like this?
Blindfolding the people to ready their evil agenda
To steal what's truly ours - we're taking back what's ours!
Believe in yourself and face your demons
Your prayers may not save you again this time
Stand up and fight - no turning back!
