Clock Opera - 11th Hour lyrics

Oh leader, leader, you can change the board You can close ranks, you can lock the door But from every window, on every floor "We're not gonna take this anymore" Newsreader in a bad dream Tell us what society means Yeah, we are angry and we are sore And we won't take this from you anymore You can try to take us off the air But we want our chance and we want our share Yeah, we are sickened down to our core And we won't take this from you anymore We are coming with a million feet Gonna break the gates around your street Yeah, we are something you can't ignore And we're not gonna take this from you anymore You've got to get mad as hell Got to go & ring that bell You've got to tell the others Tell the others Tell the others So teacher, teacher, come with me They're burning books on every street They're taking ground beneath our feet And we cannot let this happen We never thought to look so low They take from those who need the most We've got to let the others know And we cannot let this happen But leader, leader saw us there He closed the window, combed his hair He still heard something that he ignored Went back to doing what he did before
