Don’t wanna take my country back
I wanna take my country forward
Don’t wanna take my country back
I wanna take my country forward
Don’t wanna take my country back
Everyone’s preaching to the choirs
Words billow up and get trapped in trash fires
Fists of fury, against one’s neighbor
Reeling around in the echo chamber
Now look what we’ve done to ourselves
We’ve really gone and f**ed it this time
Look what we’ve done to ourselves
So get up, get up and feel the rising tide
I’m fed up, fed up with all the cyanide
Get up, get up and feel the rising tide
Get up, get up
(Get up, get up)
There’s anger stashed in the creases of your face
That burning rage could gut a castle
But you torched your neighbor
And now your whole town is ablaze
And everyone is seeing red
Like the pyromaniacs in the stronghold
Sparking fury, against one’s neighbor
Twisting the truth with a blamethrower
Now look what we’ve done to ourselves
We’ve really gone and f**ed it this time
Look what we’ve done to ourselves
So get up, get up and feel the rising tide
I’m fed up, fed up with all the cyanide
Get up, get up and feel the rising tide
Get up, get up
(Get up, get up)
I don’t wanna take my country back
I wanna take my country forward
I don’t wanna take my country back
I wanna take my country forward
I don’t wanna take my country back
I wanna take my country forward
I don’t wanna take my country back
I wanna take my country forward
I feel like we’re living on the edge
And the cliffs are eroding
I feel like we’re living on the edge
And the cliffs are eroding
I feel like we’re living on the edge
And the cliffs are eroding
I feel like we’re living on the edge
So get up, get up and feel the rising tide
I’m fed up, fed up with all the cyanide
Get up, get up and feel the rising tide
Get up, get up
(Get up, get up)
