Rise Lyrics - Pretty Maids

So many promises 

From master to slave 

All lies and emptiness 

From the cradle to the grave 

We don't need words but action 

We want it here 

We want it now 

What do you think they're doing 

For you and me 

Better save your life from ruin 

[Chorus:] 

Rise up 

Cry out to the nation 

Rise up 

Break out off your shell 

Rise up 

TV generation 

Rise up 

Go out give'em hell 

You've got to clean your claws 

Don't take no more 

Don't have to hide away 

From the colour of your skin 

And you don't have to bare the cross 

And suffer from their sins 

Got to believe in something 

Though you have faith in nothing 

Life's like a bullet to your head 

You've got to come out 

What's your conclusion 

Now do you believe 

In a silent revolution 

Rise up 

Cry out to the nation 

Rise up 

Break out from your shell 

Rise up 

TV generation 

Rise up 

Go out give them hell 

Rise up 

Don't put your trust in the flames of the flag 

Who's gonna wash of he blood form the tracks 

When do the lion 

Lie down with the lamb 

When do we drop down 

The guns form our hands 

You see we build this world on solid ground 

Do you wanna see it all come down 

[Chorus]
