[Verse]
G D
There's a rebellion on ice
C
And you'll pay the price
G
As your freedom fades away.

Dishonesty is high,
C
So won't you even try
G
To stand up for your rights and say.
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C
We don't want your laws.
G
So take 'em back right now.

I've heard so many lies and I've taken the blows.
Em
Give it to me. Take it from me. Nobody knows.
C
Sick of being used and I'm gonna explode.
G
Total destruction all over the place.
D
There is so much hate it's a fuckin' disgrace.

Everyone is blind; can't see through the lies.
C G Em D C

[Verse]
G D
So will you hear the call
C
Or let the judgements fall.
G
This is it so wake up let's go
G D
And track the liars down
C
And then remove their crowns
G
And lash 'em with the binds they hold.
