[Intro — sirens, stomping drums] ANTIFA lit the streets— But you torched the wrong ground. Poor homes, small shops, Working people going down. Castles still guarded, Penthouses just watched. [Scream] YOU BURNED THE BLOCK WRONG BATTLE GROUND IDIOTS RAGED ALL NIGHT THE ALARMS NEVER SOUNDED [Verse 1 — rapid delivery] Flames in the neighborhoods, Glass cutting at our feet. BUT NEVER ONCE DID THE DESTRUCTION REACH THE HANDS THAT OWN THE STREET. Poor left standing empty, Power sitting clean. You screamed out revolution, But the rulers felt no heat. The mansions never crumbled, The bankers kept their seats. We called the others sheep, But we’re cattle in a pen. Fed a script and bled by tax, Trained to march on command. They skim it from the wages Before our hands hit pay. We grind until we’re broken, Then they take it all away. [Pre-Chorus — gang vocals] Not left! Not right! Not black! Not white! The ones above us Stage the fight! [Verse 2 — faster] Twelve chairs behind the money, Untouchable and rich. Pulling every market string While we’re buried in the ditch. Crowns and presidents are actors, They read the lines they’re fed. The faces on the bright screens Hide the hands above their heads. (background choir chants "puppets") They split us by religion, They split us by our skin. They split us by our gender So the power always wins. Neighbor versus neighbor, While the one percent stays fed. They built the bars around us, Then they sold it as our bed. [Breakdown — crushing half-time] NAME THE SYSTEM! TRACE THE CASH! BREAK THE THRONE! EXPOSE THE MASK! FREE THE PEOPLE! END THE LIE! NO MORE CATTLE LINED UP TO DIE! Make them answer! Make them kneel! Make them face The lives they steal! Could be murder, Could be graves. Make them live and watch us Rip apart their steel cage! [Final Chorus — full force] WRONG STREETS! WRONG FIRE! You burned the poor And spared the empire! BURN THE THRONE! BREAK THE CHAIN! DRAG THE WHOLE CORRUPT SYSTEM SCREAMING TO ITS KNEES AGAIN! No race! No party! No creed between! WE REFUSE TO BE THE FUEL FOR THEIR KILLING MACHINE! WRONG STREETS! RIGHT WAR! RISE TOGETHER— SHAKE THE ONES IN CONTROL! TAKE BACK THE FREEDOM THAT THEY STOLE! [Outro — sprinting drums, repeated chant] They made us hate each other So we’d never raise our eyes, But every chain they gave us Taught the people how to rise. WE ARE NOT CATTLE! WE ARE NOT OWNED! WE ARE THE MILLIONS MARCHING FOR THE THRONE! Not your neighbor— THE ONES ABOVE! Wrong streets! RIGHT ENEMY! They stacked their empire on our backs— NOW DRIVE IT TO ITS KNEES!
