In the wake of disaster, all full of fear
We let you pass these laws take away what we hold dear
Now hear our voices, hear ‘em loud and clear
HEY YOU, Give our rights back!

We know our history back and forth, we’ve seen this all before
Won’t be long ‘till martial law, is knockin’ at our door
You sidestep and evade us, when we question you about war
‘Bout time we stood up and showed ‘ya, just who you been workin’ for

Elected to your office, we can take that away
You’re not the final word here, no matter what you say
Little boys with grown up toys, better get a clue
You lie, you lie, you lie, you lie, and we won’t take that from you

Hear our voices echo loud and clear
We demand our rights back, we want peace for all who hear
Hear our voices echo loud and strong
We see peace is cool and whatchya doin’ here is wrong

You’ll be draftin’ our babies soon, I heard a lady say
You’re runnin’ out of soldiers, to carry on this way
Bring our brave warriors home, back where they belong
We can’t force our ways on others, let ‘em fight it out alone

Elected to your office, we can take that away
You’re not the final word here, no matter what you say
Little boys with grown up toys, better get a clue
You lie, you lie, you lie, you lie, and we won’t take that from you

Hear our voices echo loud and clear
We demand our rights back, we want peace for all who hear
Hear our voices echo loud and strong
We think peace is cool and whatchya doin’ here is wrong
