Awake every night feeling something's just not right
Our future is growing darker every night
I really don't know if we can make things right
But I know we're not gonna just sit, sit, sit, sit TIGHT!
Straight to the vein, numbing the pain
That's how you fake that your system is sane
Rigged to the core, we won't play your game!
Out of our sight, out of our reign
That's how you feign and maintain your domain
Rigged to the core, don't murder our dreams!
Where have our leaders gone?
Selling the Amazon
Plunder the planet for some blood diamonds or silicon
Where has the vision gone?
Our social contract's torn
Rigged to the core, we won't be your pawns!
We will never be defeated, we rise, we rise
We will never be defeated, we rise, we rise
You think our future is a joke?
I feel like we're reaching the point of no return
Yet the rising emissions are still of no concern
The failure around the world it's now our turn
Cos I know we're not gonna just sit, sit, sit, sit TIGHT!
Your game, no shame, your aim, our pain
Killing our future suffocating our dreams
No more of the same, enough of this game
I feel like the whole world is going insane!
Rigged to the core, we won't play your game!
Where have our leaders gone?
Running a global con
Poison our planet with your fossil fuel marathon
Where has the vision gone?
Our social contract's torn
Rigged to the core, we won't be your pawns!
We will never be defeated, we rise, we rise
We will never be defeated, we rise, we rise
You think our future is a joke?
Now it's our time, can you feel it, the calling, our calling
We're uniting for the fight of our lives, we're uniting for the fight for our lives!
Now it's our time, can you feel it
The calling, our calling, our calling, our calling, our calling!
We're told that we have to stop pollution, deforestation, reduce emissions
But nothing is really changing
You grew up in a green world, don't deprive us of the same
The future is ours, don't steal it from us
