Rise Against - Disparity By Design Lyrics

Rise Against - Disparity By Design Lyrics:

all the way at the bottom

of these barrels we cried out

so ashamed of our tears that

we blame only ourselves

and that's when they win

they keep us convinced

to lift up our chins

these playing fields are level

we all have a chance

with that they dismiss

the fast lanes they rode

in which access depends

on who you know

or where you came from

whose daughter are you?

whose fortunate son?

we're told to stick out our thumbs

they feast from the linens

while we settle for crumbs

is this an over-reaching arm?

or is this compassion?

is this a handout undeserved?

or a just reparation?

all the way from the towers

high above glass ceilinged tombs

tell themselves that they've earned this

by working hard and playing by the rules

but this is only part true

a dangerous trick played on me and you

and so, like a practical joke

we pulled on these bootstraps

so hard that they broke

is this an over-reaching arm?

or is this compassion?

is this a handout undeserved?

or a just reparation?

like a single domino

that falls while the rest stay vertical

we’re fed these empty fairy tales

will you believe them?

if there's a god, you better pray

that this sleeping giant never wakes

if we just took a step back

a bigger picture we might view

perhaps the man in the gutter

is not so different from you

come in out of the cold

forget all that you know

because there's always been room

by the fire for you

come in out of the cold

will you believe them?

is this an over-reaching arm?

or is this compassion?

is this a handout undeserved?

or a just reparation?

like a single domino

that falls while the rest stay vertical

we're fed these empty fairy tales

and i’m through believing

Rise Against - Make It Stop Lyrics

Rise Against - Make It Stop Lyrics:

woah, woah.

bang bang go the coffin nails, like a breath exhaled,

been gone forever.

it seems just like yesterday, how did i miss the red flames?

raise these back, the days we left.

we braved these bitter storms together.

brought to his knees he cried,

but on his feet he died.

what god would damn a heart?

and what god drove us apart?

what god could make it stop?

let this end.

eighteen years pushed to the ledge.

it's come to this,

a weightless step.

on the way down singing,

woah, woah.

bang bang from the closet walls,

the schoolhouse halls,

the shotgun's loaded.

push me and i'll push back.

i'm done asking, i demand.

from a nation under god,

i feel it's love like a cattle prod.

born free, but still they hate.

bore me, i can't change.

it's always darkest just before the dawn.

so stay awake with me, let's prove them wrong.

make it stop.

let this end,

eighteen years pushed to the ledge.

it's come to this,

a weightless step.

on the way down singing,

woah, woah.

the cold river washed him away,

but how could we forget.

gathering candles, but not their tongues.

and too much blood has flown from the wrist,

of children shamed for those they chose to kiss.

who will rise to stop the blood.

we're coming for,

insisting on, a different beat, yeah.

a brand new song.

woah, woah.

woah, woah.

woah, woah.

Rise Against - Midnight Hands Lyrics

Rise Against - Midnight Hands Lyrics:

like a new day rising

like a calm before the storm

like fog lifting from valleys

on the sleeping forest floor

eyes open slowly as the dust is shaken off

to gaze upon the wreckage

that the midnight hands have wrought

and now i feel my temperature rising

my body explodes

i feel like somebody's watching

like i'm not alone

whatever path you take

and wherever you might go

whenever you decide you to leave

i will follow, i will follow

we face the crossroads never knowing what's in store

there's an angel on my shoulder

there's a devil in my door

she proclaimed tonight will be the greatest of our lives

i said 'don't be so sure, let's just wait until the morning'

there in the clearing we gather close

under the moon's pale light we lay out the tools

and you don't have to do this, and i forgive you if you don't

she just looked away and said 'i know'

gripping the midnight hands

we dream of futures they would prevent

gripping their midnight hands

the line's crosses over, the dawn grows closer

let's bit off too much, let's?

and now i feel my temperature rising

my body explodes

i feel like somebody's watching

like i'm not alone

whatever path you take

and wherever you might go

whenever you decide to leave

i will follow, i will follow

i will bare the falls you take

i will let go if you?

i'll be there until you go away?

i will follow x7

Rise Against - Satellite Lyrics

Rise Against - Satellite Lyrics:

you can't feel the heat until you hold your hand over the flame

you have to cross the line just to remember where it lays

you won't know your worth now, son, until you take a hit

and you won't find the beat until you lose yourself in it

that's why we won't back down

we won't run and hide

cuz these are the things we can't deny

i'm passing over you like a satellite

so catch me if i fall

that's why you stick to your game plans and party lives

but at night we're perspiring by candlelight

we are the orphans of the american dreams

oh shine your light on me

you can't fill your cup until you empty your lit house

you can't understand what lays ahead

if you don't understand the past

you'll never learn the fun now

til you're standing at the gate

and you can't truly love until youve given up on it

she told me that she never would face the world again

so i offer up my hand

we'll sneak out when they sleep

and sail off in the night.

we'll come clean and start over the rest of our lives.

when we're gone we'll stay gone.

out of sight, out of mind.

it's not too late,

we have the rest of our lives.

we'll sneak out while they sleep

and sail off into the night

we'll come clean and start over the rest of our lives

out of sight, out of mind.

it's not too late,

we have the rest of our lives.

the rest of our lives

the rest of our lives

because we won't back down

we won't run and hide

yeah cuz these are the things we can't deny

i'm passing over you like a satellite

so catch me if i fall

that's why you stick to your game plans and party lives

but at night we're perspiring by candlelight

we are the orphans of the american dreams

oh shine your light on me

because we won't back down

we won't run and hide

yeah cuz these are the things we can't deny

i'm passing over you like a satellite

cuz these are the things that we can't deny now

this is a life that you can't deny us now
