Zebrahead - Battle Hymn Lyrics

What'cha gonna do when they come
Kicking down your front door?
Will you lay down
Surrender like you did before?
Suffocating on the broken promises
You can't ignore the pressure's mounting
Remember what you're fighting for
Lay down your arms,  take your pill
Sit still and obey
What's in the harm kill your will
Find someone to betray

Lose control of your mind and soul
In the modern day decay
The riot's starting
Can the kids come out and play?

Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down
Light it up, 'cause we run this town
Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down
Light it up, we run this town

Hey, hey hey hey hey, hey hey hey

Batten down the hatches
Lock the windows 'cause they're breaking in
Out on the street
Let me hear your battle hymn
Keep your finger on the trigger
Notify your next of kin
Chance for survival, optimistically
Is one in ten
Give up the fight, stand down and walk away
Like a dying light, once bright
Now starting to grey

Did you lose control of your mind and
Soul in the modern day decay?
The riot's starting
Can the kids come out and play?

Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down
Light it up, 'cause we run this town
Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down
Light it up, we run this town

So laddie doddie, the system is shoddy
Just take your punches in bunches
And go exploit somebody so come on
Lose control of your mind and soul
In a modern day decay
The riot's starting, hey kids
Come out and play

Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down
Light it up, 'cause we run this town
Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down
Light it up, we run this town

Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down
Light it up, 'cause we run this town
Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down
Light it up, we run this town
