So many promises

From master to slave

All lies and emptiness

From the cradle to the grave

We don't need words but action

We want it here

We want it now



What do you think they're doing

For you and me

Better save your life from ruin



[Chorus:]

Rise up

Cry out to the nation

Rise up

Break out off your shell

Rise up

TV generation

Rise up

Go out give'em hell

You've got to clean your claws

Don't take no more



Don't have to hide away

From the colour of your skin

And you don't have to bare the cross

And suffer from their sins



Got to believe in something

Though you have faith in nothing

Life's like a bullet to your head

You've got to come out



What's your conclusion

Now do you believe

In a silent revolution



Rise up

Cry out to the nation

Rise up

Break out from your shell

Rise up

TV generation

Rise up

Go out give them hell

Rise up



Don't put your trust in the flames of the flag

Who's gonna wash of he blood form the tracks

When do the lion

Lie down with the lamb

When do we drop down

The guns form our hands

You see we build this world on solid ground

Do you wanna see it all come down



[Chorus]
