Fight With Tools

Lyrics

Echo, echo, one-nine
 Hear the call through fault lines
 Smoke signals, old rhymes
 Shorted lights in store signs
 Spelled in a broken code
 Find that it is time to
 Breathe, build, bend, and refine you
 We sky tenants
 Give it all but won't give up
 Radio soul antennas
 Radio to lift spirits
 Call sign commando
 M.O. is independence
 Scream 'til the walls fall
 Dissolve all the limits
 Occupied minds
 Unemployed skills
 Desolation
 Worn out
 Torn down
 Just for now thrill seekers
 Slanging
 Test tube babies in beakers
 Where gun blasts pump straight from the speakers
 The system where the
 Poor get poorly paid
 To hold the ladder
 Where the rich get ricocheted
 Into the stratosphere
 And in between people are rushin' like Vladimir
 With metals to make their status clear
 Get us outta here
 We need heroes
 Build them
 Don't put your fist up
 Fill them
 Fight with our hopes and our hearts and our hands
 We're the architects of our last stand
 There's a war going on for your mind
 Those who seek to occupy it will stop at nothing
 The battlefield is everywhere
 There is no sanctuary
 There are no civilians
 You have two choices:
 Surrender or enlist
 What kind of person are you?
 Always the first to argue
 Or never down to stick your neck out
 'Cause it hurts you far too much
 To see your rep suffer?
 Set you up a buffer
 Well neither is enough for us cut from a tougher brand of duct tape
 The propaganda's stuck on us like sock pajamas
 Spread like a virus
 Through accepted thoughts and proper manners
 But off the cameras
 Something's simmering across the land
 About to bubble up
 And knock the lids off of the pots and pans
 We are non-stop juggernauts
 Stomp ziggurats
 Spit manifestos
 By terabytes and gigawatts
 Shock paradigms
 Give sense to a score
 Throw thoughts through the sky
 Activate twenty more
 In these high and dry times
 Expectorate on dogma
 Pragmatic sycophants
 Divide and conquer
 We build bridges offa
 Hard work and prosper
 As hand made heroes brought to you by no sponsors
 All free minds to the front
 All minds to the front
 We call upon the women
 We call upon the children
 We call upon the handicapped
 The infirm
 The weak of heart
 We need your courage
 Your dedication
 Your passion
 Your commitment
 Gather up your platinum
 Melt it down
 Gather up your gold
 Melt it down
 Gather up your bronze
 Your silver
 Your aluminum
 Melt it down
 Melt it down
 Melt it down
