Here We Are

Extreme comes from the left and right
Looks like it's gonna be a bloody fight
Beat the system, this rat race...oh
But a sad tale it seems

They'll take the good just to spin it on its head
Commercialize the concept to death
Advertise for the greedy thieves
Who spin things out maliciously

They'll hunt you down if you talk bad about 'em
Make you scream if you try to squeeze it out of 'em
Yes it's blues for me and you
While they dance to their selfish tune

Like a wolf hunting my sheep I had to scream
And try to make it okay for everything
I think fair share hasn't been shared at all
They try and take and take and take, giving out little by little

In numbers we strengthen, this is our only earth
This is rightfully mine since birth
They'll shake our world and control the weather
But my storm is fierce and will strike down upon them

Here I am
A simple man
A man for the people 'gainst the other men
Playing this guitar and hoping you'll hear it
Saying these words Lord I know you fear it

Cause the hell hounds, you know are on our trail

For the unfair equality
You can't stop my words, you can't stop me
For if we are together we will not fall
If our words hold true they cannot fault at all

I believe in honor
Not making things worse
If my government don't wanna give a damn
Well fire and replace them first

If corporate don't wanna pay well I won't work
If they can't pronounce my name, they'll have to learn

Yes here we are
The tortured and forgotten
With debt of illusion, not playing your game
Here comes the children you cannot teach
Here comes the poverty, here comes the preach
Here lies a patriot who has to fight in a war
Here's a politician with a constant closed door

Here I am
A simple man
A man for the people 'gainst the other men
Playing this guitar and hoping you'll hear it

For the hell hounds, Lord you know they're on our trail
