TONE IT UP!

tone it up...
WAKE UP, eyes wide, move forward
Don't be surprised that America is lost
in militarism and riot

Our street are not ours
we must dawn black
face
clothes
hide our identity

There are war machines in the skies
their sights are on the people..workers, activists, voters,
those who believe and rely on democracy
they fly over baby carriages and mothers
old men and women afraid that HE is stealing THEIR money
held in Social Security
they fly and lie

Our youth have left us peaceniks
Rage and riot
They give up owning to profess freedom

the storm troopers sneak through the streets
WHOSE POLICE, OUR POLICE
WHOSE STREETS, OUR STREETS
Guns, cuffs, battering tools, shields and domination..

Tone it up
Tone it up
Tone it up

turn off the TV
move into the streets
they are moving the working class
to the edge of town, giving us a one-way ticket to
the space between civilization…
no jobs, no house, no food, no democracy

Tone it up
Tone it up
Tone it up

Wake it up..get marching
don your black mask and run
from protest to protest
keep your voice
don't give it up

Before it is too late
Tone it up
Tone it up
Tone it up
