Almost half a lifetime I've lived here in this town
Had a lot of good times, lately it brings me down
Try to make it better, they sic the dogs on us
If we can't stand together who'll stand with us?
20 years I've walked these streets, I know every sidewalk crack
I used to luv this city, I used to think it loved me back
Suddenly i'm a stranger, is there something in my eyes?
What once was so familiar I no longer recognize
And I feel those stares you send me
And I know you want me gone
All this fear and hate could end me
Is it time for moving on?
Remember that day in winter? The morning sky turned black
It changed our world forever, there's just no going back
We built our lives together, stumbled through these years
Held each other tightly, laughing through our tears
Now I feel those stares they send me
And I know they want me gone
All this fear and hate could end me
Is it time for moving on?
What is there to do now? It's all fallen apart
We could put it back together if we just knew where to start
The lies that came between us, the ones who stabbed our backs
If we could get together we could take this city back!

Can't go forward 'cuz you hold us back
Where were you when they launched the attack?
Circle walking and ya lost yr minds
Still pretending that everything's fine
And we love our friends for fighting for a better way to be
Taking pictures, taking bullets - document brutality
Gotta take the top level off the pyramid and shake it up inside
Everybody gets there share tonight
We'll go forward yeah we won't go back
We remember whose side was attacked
Keep on walking, stay on course
if it don't get better then it's gonna get worse
And we love all those resisting injustice and cruelty
On campus and at the station, fighting for humanity
Gotta take the top level off the pyramid and shake it up inside
Everybody gets there share tonight
Tonight we honor all those who did it right
Even if we gotta do it in vigils by candlelight
Even though there's more of us we still have to fight
And we're gonna keep going 'cuz that's how battles are won
Every person near and far has the right to live and to be who they are
We got lucky but we can't forget
Those we buried in a field of regrets
And we love all those defeated by the crushing weight of today
Underpaid and uninspired, you're not alone we feel your pain
Gotta take the top level off the pyramid and shake it up inside
Everybody gets there share tonight
Tonight we honor all those who did it right
Even if we gotta do it in vigils by candlelight
Even though there's more of us we still have to fight
And we're gonna keep going 'cuz that's how battles are won
And we're gonna keep going 'cuz that's priority one
If we had it our way this crap would be over and done
