Jeremy Hoop - Rise Up lyrics

rate me

Lookin' at millions under a circus tent

Watchin' a jackass chase a dumb pachyderm

Oh what a show!

Tappin' on any shoulder that I can find

Of anyone on there who might change their mind

It's time to go.

To the real world outside with those pirate ships

The drunken sailors with dirty lips

That rule the night

Shoutin' don't be afraid of those wicked men

There's more of us than there are of them

Come join the fight!

Rise up and be counted

Take your part in the solution

Linking arm in arm to arms to arms

Lower your guns and raise your voices

Join the peaceful revolution

Shout I'm mad as hell

and I will ring the bell of freedom

Ride with me from Boston to Phili to LA

With reason come marching

With knowledge come drumming

Let everyone hear you

Each soul that is near you

The British are coming! the British are coming!

We built a house of sticks a hall of parlor tricks

But we blame it all on our politics

Oh what a shame!

Truth is the cancer ain't just in the head

Half the body's nearly dead

We're all to blame

Time to pledge no more standing on one thin leg

Lack of principle's a powder-keg

And we can't wait

If we just say what we mean mean what we say

Take back the power we gave away

It's not too late - Grab your tea and follow me

Rise up and be counted

Take your part in the solution

Linking arm in arm with words as arms

Lower your guns and raise your voices

Join the peaceful revolution

Have you an ear to hear an eye that sees us

We come in the Spirit of Martin of Ghandi of Jesus

Holding fast to the words with the power that frees us

Rise up. Make your choices

Choose the peaceful revolution

Sell what you have to sell so the devil can tell

Then let them raise their hell

And we will ring the bell of freedom

The bell of freedom

The bell of freedom
