Lyrics
The floodgates have opened up
And this time we've had enough
Everything else is just a matter of watching us
Nothing can save you now
Our patience is all worn down
To protect and to serve has all but been carried out
Well, maybe some have tried and fallen down but I
I'll raise my fists today
I won't be be kept at bay
Trusting our own instinct
How many of us will stand
And raise our fists today
I won't be be kept at bay
Trusting our own instinct
How many of us will stand
Our mission has been handed down
And soon enough we'll take your crown
Along with the power you so often abuse and now
You duck and you hide behind
The red tape and all your lies
You think that you know my kind
Then this should be no surprise
I'll raise my fists today
I won't be be kept at bay
Trusting our own instinct
How many of us will stand
And raise our fists today
I won't be be kept at bay
Trusting our own instinct
How many of us will stand
How many of us will stand
All the freaks We will stand
I'll raise my fists today
I won't be be kept at bay
Trusting our own instinct
How many of us will stand
And raise our fists today
I won't be be kept at bay
Trusting our own instinct
How many of us will stand
