Rise Against - The First Drop Lyrics
I'm calling out, only echoes respondBut I scream 'till my voice is goneCrouching in corners and hiding your faceI'm sick and tired of playing your gamesI'm not aloneI stand amongst the voiceless millions in the unforgiving sunHere arm in arm we parade these streetsAnd sing our songs (and sing our songs)(We've had enough)Is there even anything left to explain?(We've had enough)Am i really someone you need to restrain?(We've had enough)Can't you listen to what we have to say?(We've had enough)Unknowing, we lie and wait for the rainTo wash away what they have madeFace down in the dirt with your foot on my backIn the distance I hear thundercrackC'mon, stand up!This system of power and privilege is about to come to an endHere come the cloudsThe first drop is falling down (falling down)(We've had enough)Is there even anything left to explain?(We've had enough)Am i really someone you need to restrain?(We've had enough)Can't you listen to what we have to say?(We've had enough)Our futures burn in red horizonsAshes scattered in winds of changeCasualty numbers are risingNow it's time to raise the stakesWe're meant for something more thanLiving just to put food on our platesI can't help but wonder "why should we participate?"(Now we've had enough)Is there even anything left to explain?(We've had enough)Am i really someone you need to restrain?(We've had enough)Can't you listen to what we have to say?(We've had enough)
