[Chorus:]
Of the people,
By the people,
For the people,
Tell everyone.
We will rise up,
To fight your evil,
We the people,
Will overcome.
Yeah!
We ain't part,
Of the war that you are fighting in our name.
You can say,
It's for the good of this whole country just the same.
We don't want,
A holy war, no we just tryin' ta live in peace.
There's no way,
We're proud of things you do, to say the least. (To say the least)
[Chorus]
And I'm not ready to give up, our soul.
Send my dreams out of airplanes.
Ain't got no gold or silver to my name.
I don't need to win my battles,
When a pistol-headed man will do the same.
Don't say you'd do this for us,
When you don't even know who we are.
We just need love and our families,
Sat on a cloudy day, and closed the box. (Closed the box)
And it's time that we remember...
[Chorus x2]
And I'm not ready to give up, our soul.
Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah!
[Chorus x3]
