Another blue collar town
slowly shuttin down
night work no longer around

no longer the sound
a shift change , its a strange kind of quiet ,
gas on the rise and you cant afford to buy it

the government is giving out free shots so try it
me? no thanks , free than government dont buy it
its a cold city , streets are getting gritty ,

always cops in the vicinity
looking for that evil trinity ,
dope , guns and gangs ,

your hope runs short cause the headline keeps reading
another left for dead on the streets out bleeding
shootout on the highway poppin while they speeding

aint breakin down on lust,aint breakin down on passion
living life to the fullest thats the latest fashion
really now to yourself thats the question

does it really matter if your mind is your weapon ?

chorus :

*i've been through this all before*
they can beat us and mistreat us *doesnt really matter*
cause they never will defeat us *doesnt really matter*

tryna break our love for that passion*doesnt really matter*
but what we fighting for is breakin down that door
*i've been through this all before*


chorus


keep fighting for your work to survive in these tough $$# times
unemployment on the rise at an alltime high
landmark companies come crumbling down

now your little baby belly always grumbling now
got your wife on your back cause you got no pay
sunny days always gray and they never go away

the CEO of your company he living comforatbly
still got his bonus check for a couple hundred g's
why you nothing but a number in the ei line

behind the counter acting like"your no concern of mine"
now your thinking all the time about some crime
and how the ends justify the means so

it doesnt really matter
long as your baby getting fatter you feel alot better
aint so cold if you got that warm sweater

so what you waiting for the answer to that knock
or you breaking down that door


chorus

we gotta let them know

we've had enough
we're not gunna take this no more
we need everybody to get together

stand up *stand up *
gather round
stand up *stand up*

gather round
stand up *stand up*
keep fighting for that right to survive

let them know
