Alert Aware Involved
The Code Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The summer sun, sunsets the cityscape rise up
All the kids in the hall come together put your fists up
I'll bring the mic if you bring the sound system
We've got all night to get lost in the rhythm

The stage is set the dives a wreck
5 dollars at the door and it feels so perfect
Said all I know is that I don't know nothing
We've got all night so there aint no sense in rushing

(Chorus:)
It's time (HEY!) our time (HEY!)
Our voice, our stage, our vision, our community
Alright (HEY!) tonight (HEY!)
The youth are waging war
Don't you know we're gonna win this fight
It's time (HEY!) our time (HEY!)
Our voice, our stage, our vision, our community
Alright (HEY!) tonight (HEY!)
Turn it up, turn it out, lets go!

This conscious flame burns so bright in our vision in our sight
It illuminates, it radiates to rage against this dying light
It's in our veins pumping passion deep into our soul
The missing link that finally made this puzzle whole

Oh now I know our vision's clear
We are the voice of revolution infecting all who hear
See all we wanted was a place to call our own
And a chance to speak our minds so we don't have to feel alone

(Chorus)

You've gotta stay alert,
gotta stay aware,
gotta stay involved,
Alert, Aware, Involved (6x)





(Chorus)
