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)
