The stain of these times   Cuts right into our lives   These conflict days they kill   They wear us down   Blood stains the ground      The belt it has tightened   The green has gone thin   Recession speak is spreading   We hear the sound of fear spun round      They say to stay calm, we know better   The rich staying rich the upsetter   Organize you working poor   What are you what are you waiting for?   Let's take a chance and tear it down   What are you waiting for   Come on along, roll with the strong   and kick this rebel song      We're battered and torn from going along   The pain of sacrifice runs over us   Who can we trust   This system it uses corrupts and abuses   Every person in it      For far too long   So much is wrong      They say to stay calm, we know better   The rich staying rich the upsetter   Organize you working poor   What are you waiting for      They say to stay calm, we know better   The rich staying rich the upsetter   Organize you working poor   What are you what are you waiting for      Let's take a chance and tear it down   What are you waiting for   Come on along, roll with the strong   and kick this rebel song   Our time has come to rise above   This climate of defeat   Come rally round the people's sound   And kick this rebel song      Failure to quit will be our cry   The odds are tough but we must try   To take action do what we can   To take it back this is our land      Take a chance and tear it down   What are you waiting for   Come on along, roll with the strong   and kick this rebel song   Our time has come to rise above   This climate of defeat   Come rally round the people's sound   And kick this rebel song
