It's a familiar sound
We're under attack
We want to stand our ground
They're beating us back
But don't take that tack
We'll take them on
Lay out your best offense
You want to tear the whole damned armory down
And get back the bastards who kept you silent and set you up
We're gonna take them down
They'll never come back
We're gonna take this town
And launch an attack
So fight back! It's too late to call a truce
You can't turn around after you're turned loose
And we're making tracks that go two by two
What more can we do?
We can turn it around
You can't give up now
You want to figure it out
And shake off your shackles
Sing it now: "I won't go quiet"
I won't go home
So don't you turn around
We're leaving intact
We're gonna face this down
And never look back
So don't take that tack
We'll take them on
Come along; we were right, they were wrong
We are brave, we are strong, and we're taking them on
We have a say
There's a will, there's a way
If we fight, if we stay, we can still win the day
