Lyrics
Are you ready to tear it up
and start to make things right?
Can you see that we're the same
we're not black, not brown, not white?
Will you pull your head out
and find the strength to shout...?
I'm gonna tear it up
Are you ready to break it down
and start it all over from scratch?
Do you feel responsible
to keep this world out of the trash?
Can you wrap your mind around
the thoughts that come into your head?
Will you work to take apart
the lies you're continually fed?
Will you learn from history
and others who have said...?
Will you question everything
instead of just swallowing lies?
Can you find the inner truth
and recognize how it applies?
Will you hold authority
to the same laws as everyone else?
Are you ready to change the rules
and not just play the cards that you were dealt?
Will you pull your head out and find the strength to shout
Will you learn from history
and find the strength, find the strength?
