I had a dream just the other day that DC burned in flames, and the White House came crumbling right down.
The Pentagon fell through to the depths of hell and the I.R.S. themselves were brought down by the same ones they inprisoned.
We've seen it all before so what are we waiting for? This nation belongs to the people. let's burn it to the ground and rebuild it to the sound of the people singing this song of revolution.
We've all had enough of the greed and the lies from the corrupted that lead us, and now is the time for us to fight back. Let's riot in the streets from sea to sea and take down authority. No longer will we live in silence.
We've seen it all before so what are we waiting for? This nation belongs to the people. let's burn it to the ground and rebuild it to the sound of the people singing this song of revolution.
Cuz it's been so long since we all stood so tall and took pride in this hell we call our home. They strip our rights away, lie to us everyday and claim that it's for our protection.
Now they're alone, and they're oh so cold cuz we put them in the streets. There they rot today and that's okay with me, cuz we all are finally free/

Please can you tell me What have I done to deserve a lifetime of punishment? Was it my past life or just the mistakes that I still make every fucking day?
I tried so hard to take control over my life. But it's just not that simple when you stop to consider what dwells in my mind.
I'm just a looser. I got no future. No direction, motivation or aspirations. That's what they told me when I was young, then they expected me to be something but.....
I tried so hard to take control over my life. But it's just not that simple when you stop to consider what dwells in my mind.
I'm still here. Still breathing. Still Kicking. Still screaming. I'd crawl out of my own skin just to escape this war within.
I tried so hard to take control over my life. But it's just not that simple when you stop to consider what dwells in my mind.

How many of our soldiers must die? Living all your lies and fighting all your fights. How many more of their mothers must cry themselves to sleep at night because you killed their children?
No longer will we sit back and watch as you destroy our country. Regardless of what you think we have our rights, we have a say. And we're here to tell you that we won't take it anymore. We're not gonna live your lies, fight your fights, or die for your wars.
Fuck your wars. But most of all fuck you. What will you do when the people revolt against you?
It's just a matter of time before they open up their eyes. Spit out and reject your spoon fed lies. Think for themselves they will and they'll realize who's the real threat, the real fucking terrorists.
No longer will we sit back and watch as you destroy our country. Regardless of what you think we have our rights, we have a say. And we're here to tell you that we won't take it anymore. We're not gonna live your lies, fight your fights, or die for your wars.
One day you will fail. And we will prevail. And on that day we'll send you straight to hell.
The blood of the innocent stains your hands. With every airstrike on their villages. Did you even check to see if they had your man inside before you slaughtered their sons and daughters?
No longer will we sit back and watch as you destroy our country. Regardless of what you think we have our rights, we have a say. And we're here to tell you that we won't take it anymore. We're not gonna live your lies, fight your fights, or die for your wars.
One day you willl fail and we will prevail. And on that day we'll send you straight to hell.

16 years old, so mad at the world. Picked on and ridiculed everyday at school. He walks into his empty broken home and lays down on his bed, with tears in his eyes he plots out his bloody revenge.
Then he sees her as she's walking by. She's the new girl at school and she catches his eye. 2 weeks later she grabs him by the hand and says "I'm an outsider just like you and I know what you are going through."
But you are so much better than this. I'll show you how to fight without using your fists. come with me and I'll show you a better way. Just me and you, together forever against this school.
Now they're all grown up and on their own. Always together never alone. They made a promise to each other to always fight. And stand up for what they believe is right.
2 years later she feels so defeated, chewed up and spit out by a world that doesn't need her. He says "baby won't you come with me. I must tell you something that you once told me." and then he says.
But you are so much better than this. I'll show you how to fight without using your fists. come with me and I'll show you a better way. Just me and you, together forever against this world.
