Control Freak - Rise Up! Lyrics

They're trying to keep us down
But they're gonna find out that we don't need 'em around
We're going to make them see
That they can't tell us about what it means to be free
We're gonna take it underground
They won't ever find us if we don't wanna be found
We don't care about their selfish goals
Their petty squabbles won't matter since they won't have control
They think they own our bodies
And they think they own our minds
They even think that they can tell us
How to stay within their lines
They always thought they could contain us
But this is how it's gonna be
Their power is an illusion
We're the force they can't unsee
Rise up!
Every day they're gonna take some more of our freedoms
Rise up!
We've already lost if we never take a stance
Rise up!
No need for waiting - our time is now
Rise up!
Or else we may never get another chance
They're gonna learn what's right
We're tired of losing and we're willing to fight
This is how it's gotta be
It's time somebody kicked their asses from sea to shining sea
If they think they've had it rough
They have no idea - we'll tell them when they've had enough
We're gonna take it to the streets
We'll knock those bastards down and then we'll rinse and repeat
They think they own our bodies
And they think they own our minds
They even think that they can tell us
How to stay within their lines
They always thought they could contain us
But this is how it's gonna be
Their power is an illusion
We're the force they can't unsee
Rise up!
Every day they're gonna take some more of our freedoms
Rise up!
We've already lost if we never take a stance
Rise up!
No need for waiting - our time is now
Rise up!
Or else we may never get another chance
Rise up!
