Makana - Fire Is Ours lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been lied to Misled Built up by what they said Lifted only to be let down I've been taken For a ride Given power to decide Only to find out I was wrong But I've learned to tell the ones who fake it From the few really fit to run Just follow the money they've been takin' And the truth will shine like the sun [Pre-Chorus 1] I'm so tired of lies now, babe Don't wanna compromise, no way [Chorus 1] And I feel the burn For someone who can't be bought To back the man who's fought For the people of America [Verse 2] Color, gender Who's a bigger spender? Party, personality Soundbite, get it right Entertain 'em, it's a fight Pick the one who most thinks like me Don't speak of any real solutions It's the shock appeal they're looking for Don't criticize the institution But I can't take it anymore [Pre-Chorus 2] Aren't you tired of lies now baby? It's time for us to rise- no more maybe [Chorus 2] And I feel the burn For the truth to come across To melt away the gloss And reveal their motivations And you'll feel the burn For integrity to lead To focus on the needs Of the people of America [Bridge] Somebody's tuggin' at your heartstrings Sayin' what you wanna hear But they're just a pawn to the real kings Playin' upon your fear The love of power is a puppet string But can't control the love we bring The fire is ours The hour is now The tide is set to turn [Chorus 3] And I feel the burn To cast aside the chains And salvage what remains Of a dream worth defending And you'll feel the Bern Standing up to greed Word aligned with deed Worthy President of America
