Fight With Tools Lyrics - Fight With Tools - Flobots

[[Spoken: Transmitted.... signals coming through? .....okay. ]] 

Echo echo one-nine 

Hear the call through fault lines 

Smoke signals, old rhymes 

Shorted lights in store signs 

Spelled in a broken code 

Find that it is time to 

Breath, build, bend, and refine you 

We sky tenants 

Give it all but won't give up 

Radio soul antennas 

Radio to lift spirits 

Call sign commando 

M.O. is independence 

Scream till the walls fall 

Dissolve all the limits 

Occupied minds 

Unemployed skills 

Desolation 

Worn out 

Torn down 

Just for now thrill seekers 

Slanging 

Test tube babies in beakers 

Where gun blasts pump straight from the speakers 

The system where the 

Poor get poorly paid 

To hold the ladder 

Where the rich get ricocheted 

Into the stratosphere 

And in between people are rushin' like Vladimir 

With medals to make their status clear 

Get us out of here 

[Chorus: Repeat 2X] 

We need heroes 

Build them 

Don't put your fist up 

Fill them 

Fight with our hopes and our hearts and our hands 

We're the architects of our last stand 

There's a war going on for your mind 

Those who seek to occupy it will stop at nothing 

The battlefield is everywhere 

There is no sanctuary 

There are no civilians 

You have two choices 

Surrender or enlist 

What kind of person are you 

Always the first to argue 

Or never down to stick your neck out 

'Cause it hurts you far too much 

To see your rep suffer 

Set you up a buffer 

Well neither is enough for us cut from a tougher brand 

Of duct tape the propaganda's stuck on us like sock pajamas 

Spread like a virus 

Through accepted thoughts and proper manners 

But off the cameras 

Somethings simmering across the land 

About to bubble up 

And knock the lids off of the pots and pans 

We are non stop juggernauts 

Stomp ziggurats 

Spit manifestos 

By terabytes and gigawatts 

Shock paradigms 

Give sense to a score 

Throw thoughts through the sky 

Activate twenty more 

In these high and dry times 

Expectorate on dogma 

Pragmatic sycophants 

Divide and conquer 

We build bridges offer 

Hard work and prosper 

As hand made heroes brought to you by no sponsors 

[Chorus: Repeat 4X] 

All free minds to the front 

All free minds to the front 

We call upon women 

We call upon children 

We call upon the handicapped 

The infirmed 

The weak of heart 

We need your courage 

Your dedication 

Your passion 

Your conviction 

Gather up your platinum 

Melt it down 

Gather up your gold 

Melt it down 

Gather up your silver 

Your bronze 

Your aluminum 

Melt it down 

Melt it down 

Melt it down
