[Intro]
This is the hardest one!
Because of the way this society's organized
Because of the violence that exists on the surface everywhere
You have to expect that there are going to be such explosions
You have to expect things like that as reactions
[Chorus: Ceschi]
We have been broken and we have been beaten
And we have been stuck to the bottom floor
But we are focused and we still believe in the chance
That the world could be so much more
Our planet’s eroding but we'll still be growing
And we'll still be growing and we’ll still be
Ready for anything, ready for anything, ready for any war
We have been broken and we have been beaten
And we have been stuck to the bottom floor
But we are focused and we still believe in the chance
That the world could be so much more
Our planet's eroding but we'll still be growing
And we'll still be growing and we'll still be
Ready for anything, ready for anything, ready for any war
[Verse 1: Ceschi]
Top of the morning
Fought my way out of a dream, I was soaring
Forty stories, now I'm back on my feet
And the earth is crumbling below me
I can feel it disintegrating into infinite pebbles in space
I can see us becoming nothing
I can smell the eruption and face every minute of pain
Can't settle for psychopath leaders
I want to believe in the people
I want to believe we could be living equally
Call me naive or a dreamer, I want to believe in you
If more of us could see we don't need them, lived peacefully
Without the fucking police or a prison
Without a religion, it’s faith
Alter the human condition
This ain’t rapping, I'm vomiting honesty
Really not promising anything
Born as the type to demolish a tower then build again
Fuck a minuteman
Ain’t no sympathy for the devil
And we're running away from God
Don't be afraid of these laws
Break them, erase them, replace it all
We may be defeated
But life is too short to be stepped on and treated like cretins
I mean every word of it
Stop being comfortable with your subservience
Permanent vermin in office are burning us all to a crisp
While we're watching our bodies ignite into flames
Ain’t no fucking game
Keep on living, defending each other
We'll find a way
[Chorus: Ceschi]
We have been broken and we have been beaten
And we have been stuck to the bottom floor
But we are focused and we still believe in the chance
That the world could be so much more
Our planet's eroding but we'll still be growing
And we'll still be growing and we'll still be
Ready for anything, ready for anything, ready for any war
We have been broken and we have been beaten
And we have been stuck to the bottom floor
But we are focused and we still believe in the chance
That the world could be so much more
Our planet's eroding but we'll still be growing
And we'll still be growing and we'll still be
Ready for anything, ready for anything, ready for any war
[Verse 2: Astronautalis]
I wasn't born upon the fourth of July
But I'm the son of a dozen soldiers, soldiers, soldiers
Living through war all the time
I thought I told ya, told ya, I ain't never scared
But once you sobered, sobered, sobered
I saw that it wasn't a God damned lie
So fuck it man, let us in there ain't no heaven or hell
All we really need is us and some food on the shelf
A box a bullets, fuck your pulpit
Fuck your power and wealth
We can push it we can pull it till it topples on down
Statues fall and they crumble easier than they built
Ain't no small, ain't no humble when there's anger and will
Yeah, you stand tall if you want to but you just walkin' on stilts
We kick them shits, you hit the bricks
Are you still feelin' yourself?
And I'm like, "Ayy"
I see that Black Bloc and that Antifa on front page
And I'm laughing when they sucker punched that face
That alt-right gets goodnight, caught fades
So, expect us, respect us, or pay
[Chorus: Ceschi]
We have been broken and we have been beaten
And we have been stuck to the bottom floor
But we are focused and we still believe in the chance
That the world could be so much more
Our planet's eroding but we'll still be growing
And we'll still be growing and we'll still be
Ready for anything, ready for anything, ready for any war
We have been broken and we have been beaten
And we have been stuck to the bottom floor
But we are focused and we still believe in the chance
That the world could be so much more
Our planet's eroding but we'll still be growing
And we'll still be growing and we'll still be
Ready for anything, ready for anything, ready for any war
