lyrics

A radio blackout
Boycotts your band
A Clear Channel’s open
Can’t take a stand

Criticizing government
Censoring your messages
Barricading nations
Democratizing stations

Now corruption
Influence justice
Facebook frustrations
Turn into violence

Pepper spraying victims
Relying on the system
Questioning consensus
Fearing repercussions
Great recessions, depressions…

Your robot lacking feeling?
Devoid of love and reason?
Well that’s the corporation

Stop!
Turn it loud
Never let ‘em
Turn it down

Petty thieves filling jails
No hope of posting bail
Bankers all believing
They’re too big to fail

Bleeding baby boomers
Consuming mass consumers
Rich getting richer
While the poor just getting poorer

Time to put it on the line
Time to pay up for your crimes
Make billions on the system
No taxes on the kingdom

Job-creating patriots
Buying law and government
Turning all this discontent
Into twitter arguments
Philosophies, theologies…

Are you enjoying your twelve room mansion?
Taking a stroll down Park Place?
Enjoy playing monopoly with the whole human race?

Stop!
Turn it loud
Never let ‘em
Turn it down

Until then…
Preserve the debt
Reserve the fed
Profit on the forgotten
Or even the dead

Find another car to buy
Bomb to fly, law to lie
Preacher’s cry, mountain high
Someone else to wine and dine
Another dotted line to sign
For something you can’t even afford…

‘Cause one day we'll all be judged
Not for our things though
For how much we love

Stop!
Turn it loud
Never let ‘em
Turn it down

You better seek the truth!
Take to the streets! They say you got nothing to lose!
