[Verse 1]
Been trying for the heart of me
You know we ain't livin' up on easy street
If you need a friend, lord knows
I been down'n'out again and again
Oh baby, who will fall?
And who's gonna answer when they get that call?
So hold it close, keep it safe
I know that you'll be with us
When we make them pay
[Chorus]
I see you and I know what's at stake
You see me and you know we can't wait, oh yeah
Like so many before us, we find ourselves
One with the history behind us and once again
With the rich and the cops against us
[Verse 2]
Where ya gonna be in a year or two?
I'm not gonna let 'em get the best of you
It's not too late
But what you're gonna do, that's up for debate
Whose side are you on?
The factory wheels'll keep spinnin along
It ain't cut and dried
And it never will
But the fightin' baby that's half of the thrill
[Chorus]
I see you and I know what's at stake
You see me and you know we can't wait, oh yeah
Like so many before us, we find ourselves
One with the history behind us and once again
With the rich and the cops against us
