They sit in their ivory towers, signing away our futures with ink that ain't their blood. "Duty calls," they say, but it's our names on the list, our boots in the mud. Not theirs. Never theirs. So tonight, we rise and roar: if it's war you want, send yours first. [Build up | full band comes in} Suits in the tower, safe behind the glass Pushing buttons, sending us to the pass They talk of duty, wave the flag so high But when the boots hit ground, it's you and I We won't bow, we won't break This ain't our war, for heaven's sake Send yours first! (Send yours!) Send yours first! (Send yours!) If it's so damn right, lead with your kin Don't hide behind the lies and spin Send yours first! (Send yours!) Send yours first! (Send yours!) We're not your pawns, we're breakin' free This rebellion's callin' you and me Golden towers gleam, but the streets run red With dreams deferred and promises unsaid They draft the poor, the young, the unafraid While their own kids sip champagne in the shade We won't bow, we won't break Rise up now, before it's too late Send yours first! (Send yours!) Send yours first! (Send yours!) If it's so damn right, lead with your kin Don't hide behind the lies and spin Send yours first! (Send yours!) Send yours first! (Send yours!) We're not your pawns, we're breakin' free This rebellion's callin' you and me No more chains, no more games We'll tear it down, scream your name Send yours first! (Send yours!) Send yours first! (Send yours!) If it's so damn right, lead with your kin Don't hide behind the lies and spin Send yours first! (Send yours!) Send yours first! (Send yours!) We're not your pawns, we're breakin' free This rebellion's callin' you and me Send yours... send yours... first Send yours... send yours... first Send yours... send yours... first
