We Are Winning

Lyrics

Rival gangsters sit down to plan an after-school program
 A religious fanatic posts footage of an interfaith service project
 A group of teenage boys watches a video of a father playing catch with his son
 An adult film star paints thumbnail portraits of elderly couples, fully clothed and smiling
 A record executive records a demo of his apology
 A policeman makes reverse 911 calls instructing residents to take to the streets
 A patriot reports for duty
 She's wearing an orange jumpsuit and holding a picket sign
 She's ashamed of her birthplace
 But retreat is not an option
 Women and children
 Frontline
 Logon
 Tune in
 Stand and be counted
 Wounded
 Stationed
 In the belly of the vulture
 Watch your back
 Theres no civilians
 Women children
 Frontline
 Listen
 Consider this a distant early warning
 The fires imminent
 Pollution gathering dust particles
 Funneling through smokestacks
 Airwaves
 Bandwidth
 Disinformation tube fed
 Check the label
 Delete the virus
 Alert the masses
 Butterfly wing crosswinds send Black Hawks toward hurricane survivors
 Roses sprout from empty lots and sidewalk cracks
 Pacifist guerrillas move undetected through concrete jungles
 New forms are beginning to take shape
 Once-occupied minds are activating
 People are waking up
 The insurgency is alive and well
 Rise of the Flobots
 Portrait of the new American insurgent
 Rattle and shake the foundation of the world order
 Assembly line consent
 Resist
 Refuse
 Inform
 Create
 Direct loved ones to the trenches
 Suit up
 Forge rubble into fortresses
 Plaster
 Cloth
 Aluminum
 Broken porcelain
 Rusted platinum
 Burn bloodstains from decompressed diamonds
 Hammer the battlecry into braille-studded armor
 We are building up a new world
 Do not sit idly by, do not remain neutral
 Do not rely on this broadcast alone
 We are only as strong as our signal
 There is a war going on for your mind
 If you are thinking, you are winning
 Resistance is victory, defeat is impossible
 Your weapons are already in hand
 Reach within' you and find the means by which to gain your freedom
 Fight with tools
 Your fate and that of everyone you know depends on it
