I Say What Needs To Be Said

There is no holding back anymore.
Lyrics to American Head Charge's "Pledge Allegiance":
We're just the braces amidst
These selfish trials and fits
Not so safe or scared or dumb is the rest
Our unravelling has just enough of it here to be
Drown propped up and watching you stare at us pull you down

You read the news
You take the vows
You blame the costs
We play the chords
Now the only course that traces an end to the violence has left us without any chance to stand our ground

Stand up and - march!
Get back in line and - fight!
The time to start is - now!
Don't let yourself play the fool
There's no way out

Placatingly wound we search
Without purpose the game ends
Promise me today so tomorrow's a new surprise
All these sores lingering
Shutdown and loving it
The greedy hands will lie but we stand ready to strike

Yours' is the blood
Theirs is the first
The speed the greed
The machines and the paper dolls
We didn't want this
We didn't need this
We couldn't see it coming but we're to blame for it

Stand up and - march!
Get back in line and - fight!
The time to start is - now!
Don't let yourself play the fool
There's no way out

Watch us coming while you drop away
Bow your fucking heads and pray for us
Cause it's my time and it's our side
You can't stop us any longer

Bow your head
Pray for us
It's our time
It's our side
