Rise and Shine

from Set Fire by Fifteen Rockets

/

lyrics

Deafened by explosions on TV,
everybody's got a gun because they're free.
Blinded by a fake celebrity
smiling from beneath the glow of tiny screens.

We are fed, we are fattened.
We are raised not to rise.
Now we see how it happens.
Rise and shine.
We are weak, we are saddened:
The united untied.
Now we ask "How could this happen?"
Rise and shine.

Silenced by a fear of a belief.
Caught up in the hate and insecurity.
Borders drawn in blood of enemies
pooling into patriotic anarchy.

I blame myself for a lot, but now it's on you.
Line 'em up, take a shot.
It's all we can do.
