lyrics

If they took your clothes
If they stole your sheets
If they took your eyes
Or deprived you of your sleep
If they held you down
If they bit your tongue
If they bent your limbs
And dragged you through the streets
If they broke your heart
Or if they stole your love

Bide your time in silence, we’ll pay them back with violence
They will taste sedition as we break the institution

If you have your strength
And if you have your wits
If you’ve got your voice
I promise you’ll be heard
If you give your sweat
And if you give your blood
If you give your life
If you give your soul
You can have a chance
To be the greater good

Bide your time in silence, we’ll pay them back with violence
They will taste sedition as we break the institution

(All men must face things they fear, some men become the things they fear)

There’s no more need for you to hide yourself
The walls they fell and we have freedom now
Day by day we’ll build our lives again
And put them back the way they should have been
There’s no more need to live our lives in fear
But fear is old and sometimes comfortable
Bit by bit we’ll make mistakes again
As children grow into the men they feared
And all men fear
