Strike Anywhere - Blackbirds Roar lyrics

All the world is waiting In the half life where we live Nobody left to lead us Our time is closing in We'll take it back Our time is closing in So make it last Our time is closing in Living in apocalypse, closing in From the streets to the towers where the air is thin What does it take, take to survive In the lumpen maze, how to get out alive Our gardens in the ghetto, abandoned lots Loved in secret, it's all that we've got So when the police come, we'll tell them it was all of us All of us Our time is closing in Our time is closing in There's the college of protection for the rich white men Who frame us for their camera eyes But their science of injustice can be dispossessed Every time we organize From the halls of litigation to the empty docks Where the product rolls on by Production is protected like an innocent While our dreams are hung and dried The straw men built up Will be burning, my friend To light and guide Our way, our way All the world is waiting In the half life where we live Nobody left to lead us Our time is closing in Our time is closing in Our time is closing in
