It's All Over
P.E. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Falling like a house of cards
Seats of power
Die
We mobilize, realize why
We warriors fight for the light
In the darkness, in the right time
You will never win, never again
Feel the sunrise see the night end
You're on the wrong side of history
Misery be your legacy in disarray
[Chorus]
Can you feel it
I can feel it
It's all over
It's all fucking over
I can see it
I know I can see it
It's all over
Now we begin again
Get ready I'm ready for change
Ya can't stop me get out of my way
Here we go here we go again
Evolution underway
In your face in the new age
We family We renegade
See through paranoid websites
Prey on the weak minded
We pray for the day
When the corporate fascists die and decay
Can you feel it
I can feel it
It's all over
It's all fucking over
I can see it
I know I can see it
It's all over
Now we begin again
Can you feel it
I can feel it
It's all over
It's all fucking over
I believe it
Can you believe it
It's all over
Now we begin again
London Bridges
Falling like a house of cards
Seats of power
Die
London Bridges
Falling like a house of cards
Seats of power
Die
It's overcast, but not for long
It's burning off, our sun is oh so strong
It's time to meet, yourself alone
And taste the pain
You've caused for oh so long
These chains are weak with rust
Your tools of control are dust in the wind
We the people rise from the dirt, forever
For the meek shall inherit the earth
We are royalty, kings and queens
No church, no bended knees
We family we renegade
We pray for the day when the hatred fade
Can you feel it
I can feel it
It's all over
It's all fucking over
I can see it
I know I can see it
It's all over
Can we begin
Can you feel it
I can feel it
It's all over
It's all fucking over
I believe it
Can you believe it
It's all over
Now we begin again
Can we begin again
Die
Die

No church, no bended knees
