Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The tensions way to hot and it's burning us alive
Attention homeland the wars right here
To young to vote to broke to care so what's the difference
Attention everyone we got the guns to shut em' down
Bombs away away with everything they hate they hate
Time to change today to take back all that we gave away
To save what's left to save us all stand for what's worth fighting for
The nsa cps the court da
They strong arm all the poor fuck the agencies
Attention homeland the wars right here
To young to vote to broke to care so what's the difference
Attention everyone we got the guns to shut em' down
Bombs away away with everything they hate they hate
And every life they take away causes pain and suffering
Time to change today to take back all that we gave away
To save what's left to save us all stand for what's worth fighting for
