lyrics

Hands carried me, our strength is in numbers
Last supper's all on me
To shape the tongue would drive the beasts back into the sea
I’ll sound the horn
We’ll charge the gates
Then death will climb the stairs
How bloody is revival
If rebellion's what they fear?

All we need is ammunition for the settlements
If we supply ourselves, what good is this demand?

I can’t stand you’re the bloodline
But what am I worth without you?

Straight running the game!

They burn down our homes
And they feed us lies
From the minds of those in which we despise
But middle fingers are up
I’m taking back what was mine from the start
(from the start)

They burn down our homes
(what! what! what! what!)
But I see through the lies
Of greedy men with dollar signs in their eyes
And yet still time after time, this kid been proving he right all along

All I know is the poor man’s happy singing songs on the subway
So why am I supposed to sign my life away?

Masses, oh, masses open the door
It’s apparent that you're blind
Clothed in comfort lies they snake
Forging dotted lines

What am I worth, what am I worth to you?
What am I worth, what am I worth without you?

There they stand
Let us marvel at the power in their hands
A true man’s palms should never be this clean

What am I worth, what am I worth to you?
What am I worth, what am I worth to you?
Oh

What am I worth, what am I worth to you?
What am I worth, what am I worth without you?
What am I worth, what am I worth to you?
What am I worth? What am I worth?

All I know is the poor man’s happy singing songs on the subway
So why am I supposed to sign my life away?
I've given all I can just to shake the hand of a crooked man
So why am I supposed to sign my life away?
