lyrics

The rich and the poor don't see it the same way
cuz the rich is holding on to what the poor will give away
but the poor ain't poor cuz they waste their lives away
I think it's time the rich are gonna pay

So we all marched down to the center of the square
and we yelled and we sang to declare what we declared
but it wasn't very long till there were bullets in the air
cuz a fight with a cop is never fail

surround the gates
until it breaks

i'm tired of running it's time to take a stand
time to take a stand
I thought I never can

no more lies
we're making our demands
it's time to take a stand
it's time to take a stand

well the times were getting tough we all could tell you that
but it doesn't really count until it falls upon your back
and the signs for a change were at the top of the stack
I think it's time the poor should take it back

it's like we're winning if we got words
we can stand in between the divides we don't deserve
and every single person has the right to be heard
the day equality no longer blurred
