[Verse 1]
C F C
They stole everything
F C
And locked it away
F
So we'll smash everything
Am G
That's in the way
C F C
Of a world
F C
Where we can stand to breathe
F
Without giving up
Am G
What being human means
[Chorus]
C G Am G F Fm
We can't wait for someone else to write the songs that we'll sing on the barricades
C G Am G F Fm
Or until the last police is gone to keep each other safe
C G Am G F Fm
We can't wait until we know we aren't wrong to raise the stakes
C G Am G F Fm
We can't wait for someone else to write the songs that we'll sing on the barricades
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
C G Am F
And I meet people everyday who can barely bring themselves to believe
C G F
That the sun is coming up again
C G Am F
I meet people everyday who can't bring themselves to believe
C G
That the world is gonna change
C
As if it's ever done anything else
[Instrumental]
