No more clever thoughts
Just clever words
Spoken by cowards
Afraid of growth
Troubled by change
Terrified to lose their hallowed place
In name they're leaders
In action all deceivers
Lightning quick, rhetoric
Oh, how quickly we'll forget
(And all things will be destroyed)
Lay down and take it
Or stand up and fight
Fight back with pride
Yet now we enter
Together
Intellectual winter
And never
Question the men
Whose power we may
Sever from enacting an evil plan
Our silence loudly cries, "yes they can."
No more people here
Just business
Tended by princes
Afraid of some
Troubled by few
Terrified of a people renewed
In name, criminals
In deed they're fucking heroes
Helping us all wake up
But that alone is not enough
(For all things to be renewed)
Lay down and take it
Or stand up and fight
Fight back with pride
Yet now we enter
Together
Intellectual winter
And never
Question the men
Whose power we may
Sever from enacting an evil plan
Our silence loudly cries, "yes they can."
