Blackbirds Roar Songtext

von Strike Anywhere

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
