[Intro] [distorted electric guitar riff, driving drums] Rise up! Rise up! Rise up! Everybody rise up! Rise up! Rise up! Rise up! Everybody rise up! [Verse 1] [palm-muted guitar, bass and drums continue] Brother, sister, can you feel what they're trying to do to you? Have you heard about your freedom? Disaster's point of view Another yen, pound, and dollar, fortune, money, bread Everyone join the chant, wants solutions to this mess [Chorus] [full band intensity, group vocal chants] Rise up! [shouted] (Stop!) [distorted guitar riff] Cutting down the trees Rise up! [shouted] (Stop!) [crash cymbal] Decimating forests, plants, and birds, and the sea Rise up! [shouted] (Stop!) [snare hits] Plastic-covered tears Rise up! [shouted] (Stop!) Poisoning oceans, birds, and fish can hardly breathe [Verse 2] People's health, vaccinate within an inch of life you bear While politics is in the ditch, doesn't matter if it's right or left And the people's voices that get heard, see what you're gonna do Everyone join the chant, wants solutions to this mess [Chorus] Rise up! [shouted] (Stop!) Profit-driven greed Rise up! [shouted] (Stop!) Shelter-made decisions that get us to believe Rise up! [shouted] (Stop!) People making waves Rise up! [shouted] (Stop!) Tons of trash in land and sea, we must save this place [Bridge] [bass-driven groove, guitar feedback] Pharmaceutical companies profiting from fear Even screaming won't get you heard, they cuff you and break your neck So they say that prison's full and that we'll never do But you've read the propaganda and the real prison's me and you [Outro] [high-energy finale, rapid drum fills] Rise up! [shouted] (Stop!) Before they wipe us out Rise up! [shouted] (Stop!) Human with a conscience, then it's time to shout Rise up! (Yeah!) Rise up! (Oh!) Rise up! (Yeah!) Everybody rise up! Everybody rise up! Everybody rise up! Everybody rise up! Rise up! (Hey!) Rise up! (Yeah!) Rise up! (Now!) Rise up and shout it out! Rise up! Shout! Rise up! (Yeah!) Rise up! (Hey!) Everybody rise up! (Oh yeah!) Rise up! (Hey!) [final guitar chord ring out]
