[Intro] Hands up Heads high We don’t beg We decide [Verse 1] Clock in Clock out Still short on the rent Boss says “tighten belts” We know what that meant Line down Walk out Let the machines rest When the gears stop turning They feel it in their chests [Chorus] These are the things we can do now Right here Right now We can shut it down (hey!) Strike Resist We’re not backing out These are the things we can do now Right here Right now We can starve their crown Speak it Live it That’s our power now [Verse 2] Won’t swipe that card For the crooked brand Spend with our people Put cash in our hands Phone tree buzzing “Don’t pay that loan” If we all sit still They can’t seize our homes [Chorus] These are the things we can do now Right here Right now We can shut it down (hey!) Strike Resist We’re not backing out These are the things we can do now Right here Right now We can starve their crown Speak it Live it That’s our power now [Bridge] Tax bill burning on the kitchen plate “Not one coin for your wars of hate” Bodies in the street We block that gate If we all say “no ” what can they take? Feed each other when the shelves run bare Patch each other when they don’t care Whisper truth till it fills the air From a small brick spark to a full glare (oh) [Chorus] These are the things we can do now Right here Right now We can shut it down (hey!) Strike Resist We’re not backing out These are the things we can do now Right here Right now We can starve their crown Speak it Live it That’s our power now [Outro] Hands up Heads high We don’t beg We decide Right here Right now These are the things We can do now
