A symptom of this state
A consequence of madness
An overwhelming sense of an underlying sadness
The rain on the parade will only soak the ballots
The kids are wide awake
And they rage against the palace
Someone save us
Gotta get back up when you've been all the way down
There's a spark, there's a light
There's a will, there's a way out
It could be so tight, it could be so sick
It just ain't right and it just ain't this
We need more fight and we need more grit
We need more punks and we need more bricks
The next emergency can only be so tragic
An opportunity for the next distraction tactic
The victims get the blame
When pricks get caught red handed
And don't reach for your kids
'Cause we've got this boat surrounded
Someone save us
Gotta get back up when you've been all the way down
There's a spark, there's a light
There's a will, there's a way out
It could be so tight, it could be so sick
It just ain't right and it just ain't this
We need more fight and we need more grit
We need more punks and we need more bricks
Yeah, we need more punks and we need more bark and we need more bite
Just because it's not on your own doorstep doesn't make it right
It doesn't make it right
We've gotta make it right
We've gotta make it
Gotta get back up when you've been all the way down
There's a spark, there's a light
There's a will, there's a way out
It could be so tight, it could be so sick
It just ain't right and it just ain't this
We need more fight and we need more grit
We need more punks and we need more
Gotta get back up when you've been all the way down
There's a spark, there's a light
There's a will, there's a way, there's a way out
