Arcade Fire - Move lyrics

Everybody stand up, get down Move when I tell you to, so move now Gather the people Move to a new place Gather the people Do it in a few days Gather the people Find out the new ways To start a new phase In a few days In a new place Crawled through the desert on naked feet A mile long line marching the beat Escaped centuries of slavery Followed the shepherd like herds of sheep To a land sitting on the beach Tried to live for once peacefully Till the Romans grew geographically Stole their land but not their dignity Everybody stand up, get down Move when I tell you to, so move now Gather the people Move to a new place Gather the people Do it in a few days Gather the people Find out the new ways To start a new phase In a few days In a new place Welcome to Europe come on in One ignorant inquisition The Spanish k**ed those who weren't Christian The pogroms were an imposition Forced out by the angry Russians The Germans k**ed twelve million by crushing The UN sent them back where they came from To fight outnumbered sixty to one for Zion Everybody stand up, get down Move when I tell you to, so move now Arafat sending boy to blow up his own face Begging to not die in vain Back in 1967, 5735 In the place near heaven A country a third the size of LA Conquered four armies in six days Another widow thrown to her knees What will it take to live in peace? Everybody stand up, get down Move when I tell you to, so move now Gather your people Move to a new place Gather your people Do it in a few days Gather your people Find out the new ways To start a new phase In a few days In a new place Everybody stand up
