lyrics

Thursday night the ramparts out
The world watching with anxiety
Tired of being pushed around
Angels march to claim back their wings

Cops try to intimidate
But this time we won’t give in to their hate
We fight for a better place
We stand for a country worth living in

The choices that you make
Your children will one day pull apart
Did you live up to your task
Did you hide your head in the sand

If you ignore it then you’re part of it

Rain falls of tear gas and rubber bullets
You’re gonna need more if you want to stop us now

Cameramen let the film roll
Newscasters waiting for the bombs to blow
The tension leads the heart astray
The wolf picks up the scent of prey

Shots heard but no-one sees
Cops eye the peaceful army
Waves crash against the sea
Sparks fly and ramparts broken

Miles of misery
Pipe bombs burn gasoline
The heart of America bleeding
And that’s why we all sing

If you’re ignorant then you’re part of it

The ambulances pull away
The wolves are exiting the scene
Susannah stares down at the bloodshed
And the spectators silently walk away

And there’s nothing left to report here
Just a story to use for their own gain
And the cause don’t matter anymore
And the only trophy is their pain

And its hard to be ok
When the world is kicking you down again
And the angels march another day
Plastic cops in disarray
The newsmen try to look away
But they all hear the final call

We won’t be silenced
We won’t be kicked around

Keep on waving your battered flags
Shout until your voices are heart
Tonight we’re gonna make a stand
Tonight we’re taking our country back

Blood running through the heartland
Blood running through we’re pulling for the win
