[Verse 1] You smile on the screen Sharp suit Soft lie Shake hands Make plans Watch another town die You toast your deals In your gated high-rise But out past the billboards Something wakes in our eyes [Chorus] We the people are coming Hear that thunder under your feet Every promise you sold us Stacked like tinder in the street We the people are coming Feel that rumble Feel that drum You built your kingdom on our backs Now hear us say We're coming [Verse 2] You count our votes Like chips on your green felt Then count our paychecks And decide what we get dealt You sign your name On another quiet theft While we pass the same ten dollars From right hand to left [Chorus] [Bridge] You thought we were tired Too busy staying alive But we kept our anger Like coals that never died Name by name Face by face We remember every cut Every poisoned place Raise your glass Last time Hear our boots on the climb [Chorus]
