Been watching this for seven years, same story different day They take what little people have and laugh and walk away But this morning something snapped when I saw that mother fall Reaching for her children's food while guards just watched it all Empty hands where bread should be, kids with hollow eyes Boot print on her outstretched arm, no more room for compromise I've been quiet, I've been good, I've been playing by their rules But that final straw just broke this camel's back, we're through Walk home with murder in my heart but I ain't alone Every window that I pass I see that same look I own Rage so cold it burns, desperation turned to steel We're about to show the empire how the powerless can feel FINAL STRAW! Breaking backs! FINAL STRAW! Fighting back! FINAL STRAW! Had enough! Time to call their bluff! Whispered meetings in the dark, found twenty, then found more Every face tells the same tale of what they can't ignore Blacksmith's tired of making chains, baker's tired of empty shelves Mothers tired of watching children slowly starve themselves We're not warriors, we're not soldiers, just people pushed too far Kitchen knives and farming tools, that's our arsenal for war But we got something that they don't - nothing left to lose When you take everything from people, they've got nothing left to choose But violence, but uprising, but burning down your throne 'Cause living like we're living is like dying all alone So we gather in the shadows, make our plans for breaking day Final straw already fell, tomorrow we don't pray - we prey FINAL STRAW! No more fear! FINAL STRAW! End is near! FINAL STRAW! Break the chain! Nothing left but pain! Look around at all these faces, farmers turned to fighters quick Every single one of us has our own final straw that clicked Mine was watching children starve while guards were getting fat His was when they took his son and never brought him back Hers was when they shut the well and charged for river water That one lost her husband and her eldest daughter We're a army built from pain, held together by our rage And tomorrow when the sun rise we're gonna turn the page From oppression to aggression, from the beaten to the ones who beat From accepting to rejecting every chain around our feet They created what we are by taking everything we had Now the final straw has fallen and the people have gone mad Mad with hunger, mad with loss, mad with having to pretend That this system's gonna change - nah, tomorrow is the end Final straw, it already dropped Can't restart what already stopped Every face here tells the tale Of how a kingdom's gonna fail (STRAW!) By straw (STRAW!) We saw (STRAW!) The cost Of everything we lost Tomorrow when we march at dawn We're past the point of holding on The final straw's already broken Now it's time for blades to do the talking
