You've got a right
To be the person that you want to be
A light
In a storm of oppression
Put up a fight
Because the ground is receding and you'll soon be high and dry
But not tonight
I won't let it happen
Now's the time
To stand up for the individual
Out of spite
The whitecoat battalion is encroaching on our lives
So rise up
Writ large in America
Rise up
Fearless and free
Just out of sight
Is the implicit threat of the gun
Your life?
It doesn't matter to a bureaucrat
You've been denied
You say your body is your sovereign but you've gotta stand your ground
So rise up
Writ large in America
Rise up
Fearless and free
Hard to believe we let it get this far
Like frogs in a pot, consumed by time
Governance by edict, absent vox populi
The sword of altruism brought us to our knees
I won't back down
I won't back down
We can't back down
We can't back down
So rise up
Writ large in America
Rise up
Fearless and free
Rise up
Don't feed our children to the mob
Rise up
Writ large in America
Rise up
Is individual sanctity
And we're running out of time
Yeah we're running out of time
