[Intro]
Em Cadd9 D Am D
[Verse 1]
Em Cadd9 D
You've been hanging your conscious on the fence
Am D
Cause you can't hold it
Em Cadd9 D
An empty promise laid to rest
Am D
A life is stolen
Em Cadd9 D
And there will be no consequence
Am D
For what you broken
Em Cadd9 D D Am
Don't you know, what your father said
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D
We are the only
D
We are the brave
Am D
We are America, but
We are to blame
[Chorus]
Em
Stand up, Stand up,
Can you hear me now
G
All I, All I
Really want now is
C
Your voice, Your voice
Screaming out loud, saying
D
We can make it, or we can make it
Em
Fist up, Fist up!
Don't put your hands down
G
All I, All I
Really want now is
C
Your voice, Your voice
Screaming out loud, saying
D
We can make it, or we can make it
[Verse 2]
Em Cadd9 D
We've been biting our tongues for far too long
Am G
And they know it
Em Cadd9 D
They told us that hope would carry on
Am G
They really had us going
Em Cadd9 D
And there will be no consequence
Am D
For your simple hypnosis
Em Cadd9 D D Am
