The stain of these times Cuts right into our lives These conflict days they kill They wear us down Blood stains the ground The belt it has tightened The green has gone thin Recession speak is spreading We hear the sound of fear spun round They say to stay calm, we know better The rich staying rich the upsetter Organize you working poor What are you what are you waiting for? Let's take a chance and tear it down What are you waiting for Come on along, roll with the strong And kick this rebel song We're battered and torn from going along The pain of sacrifice runs over us Who can we trust This system it uses corrupts and abuses Every person in it For far too long So much is wrong They say to stay calm, we know better The rich staying rich the upsetter Organize you working poor What are you waiting for They say to stay calm, we know better The rich staying rich the upsetter Organize you working poor What are you what are you waiting for Let's take a chance and tear it down What are you waiting for Come on along, roll with the strong And kick this rebel song Our time has come to rise above This climate of defeat Come rally round the people's sound And kick this rebel song Failure to quit will be our cry The odds are tough but we must try To take action do what we can To take it back this is our land Take a chance and tear it down What are you waiting for Come on along, roll with the strong And kick this rebel song Our time has come to rise above This climate of defeat Come rally round the people's sound And kick this rebel song
