Verse

In dungeons of doubt where it’s too dark to see

Held captive by fear, we forget we’re still free

Abused by bullies, those billionaires

Who couldn’t care less about our welfare

We’re down on our knees

Chorus

It’s time to…Rise up, against their dominion

Get tough, fight harder for freedom

United we will conquer loss and fear

Right now (echo “right now”), Right here (echo “right here”) x 2

Verse

It’s more than just/ politics this time

As the red-white-and-blue fades on the vine

But we can’t let our Democracy

Surrender to this tyranny

It’s time to unite!

[Chorus]

Bridge

For all of the immigrants/ in search of a life

For the thousands fired/ just for spite

For all our queer brothers/ and sisters erased

by edicts of hate

Those edicts of hate

It’s not too late

Verse

They happily steal from the poor

Just so their rich friends can have even more

They’re outa their depth, don’t know what

they’re doin’

Leaving a trail of wreck and ruin

Let’s show them the door

[Chorus]
