New Days 03:27
Just like the weathermen Coming from the underground Tragically poetic With that radical sound No room for defeat Take the war to the streets Don't fear the elite Raise your fist in deceit Mohamed Bouazizi May you rest in peace Set the fires of the minds Of the middle east Malala my sister The punishment severe For the truth you did seek You showed them no fear We die in these cages, we slave for these wages Relinquish the shackle that which contain us No justice, no peace ‘til we cure the disease For a better world today, we will bite the hand that feeds From the water we need To the air that we breath From tuition, to rent They enslave us with debt So we'll take to streets We’ll fire the boss The means of production Seized at all cost From London - to Burma Wall street - to Greece Take back what’s ours! Fuck the police! A new feudal state Our lives are at stake We can't let these pigs Keep what they take

The Cost 04:05
This is for the Kurds who are dying for their land For the kids in Hong Kong who are making their demands For the nameless bodies that line the sea floor And the genocide that sleeps at our front door For Leonard Peltier and the millions of others All the countless throngs that just have to suffer The names racked up as collateral damage All the people dying, caused by famine This is the cost For Malcolm, Martin, Garvey, and Huey Rossa, Rehana, Emma, Ashanti For those living under the fist of a king For all the martyrs of the Arab spring Black masked kids who are running through Oakland Palestinians being pushed from their land Crimes against humanity that gain no attention And for all the names that'll never be mentioned Find the cost of freedom buried in the ground Mother earth will swallow you, lay your body down

Now! 05:46
The blind lead the blind To the edge of the cliff And they only learn to see When they’re falling to their deaths But we’re down in the dark And we’re making a plan We got a 7.62 Coming straight for the man So we smash through the windows And we take back what’s ours They call it looting But to us it retribution The pigs try to stop us With their steel batons But we’re taking back the streets We’re a hundred thousand strong Now- Now is the time We take a stand Now is our time Now- now we shall rise Rise up and fight Now is our time We- we hold the line Take back what’s ours Now is our time Now- Now is the time We take a stand Now is our time The city burns tonight And there’s blood in the streets This is class warfare And we can’t accept defeat Information is our weapon Determination is our armour Black masks on our faces Number are our power The riot is the voice The voice of the unheard Until all our bodies Our bodies be intered So they segregate the masses To keep us in line But what they’ll never understand Is we would rather die.
5.
Let me ask What we're dying for While the rich get richer and the poor stay poor This white patriarchal oligarchy Got cops killing kids out in the street I can’t breathe And the politician say You can live in freedom if they die today Every 36 hours another black person dies While white america just hides their eyes And the police say They’re skin is their sin and it’s judgement day We got to stand up now And show this pigs we don’t need them around
