Rise Up - Pressure Point

The riot squads got their gas masks on

The arms of the state have grown too strong

A gun and a badge crack the megaphone

Tellin us now our rights are gone

Big Brother in the sky like a steel vulture

Tracking human prey for the power structure

From Seattle to Sacto to Fla, the police trample my liberty

Resist and riot, rise up and fight

Resist and fight, rise up and riot

History hasn’t ended time marches on

The road to justice is far too long

From Mathew to Thoreau to MLK, what’s true back then stays true today

When the sons of freedom won’t tow your line

The bill of rights becomes a crime

No more apathy open your eyes

Rise up now its revolution time

From Vietnam to the streets of Baghdad

The hell of Beirut to Afghanistan

Working class heroes they give their lives

While our leader’s sons are never sent to die

Revolution is patriotism
