Re-Education (Through Labor) Lyrics

von Rise Against

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Re-Education (Through Labor)" von Rise Against hat eine tiefe und kraftvolle Bedeutung. Es geht darum, wie...

To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
And the rhythm of the awful rusting machine
We toss and turn but don't sleep
Each breath we take makes us thieves

Like causes without rebels
Just talk but promise nothing else

We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue

We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
Because sometimes dreams just don't come true
We wait to reap what we are due

To the rhythm of a timebomb
Ticking away
And the blare of the sirens combing
The street
Chased down like dogs we run from
Your grasp until the sun comes up

We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue

We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
Because sometimes dreams just don't come true
Look now at what they've done to you

White needles buried in the red
The engine roars and then it gives
But never dies
Because we don't live, we just survive
On the scraps that you throw away

I won't crawl on ym knees for you
I won't belive the lies that hide the truth
I won't sweat one more drop for you
Because we are the rust upon you gears
We are the insect in your ears
And we crawl all over you

We sow seeds to see us through
Our days are precious and so few
We all reap what we are due
Under this sky no longer blue
We bring a dawn long overdue
We crawl all over you
