lyrics

Take a good look around.
Do you recognize what surrounds?
Make your way through the crowd.
Do you realize what's going down?
Do you feel it in your bones?
Do you feel your blood turn cold,
When you see the rise and the fall?
Do you feel you're next in line,
When you read the next headline?
The writing's there,
It's on the wall.

CHORUS:
They're coming for your rights, Joe. Yeah!
They're knocking at your door.
They're coming for your rights, Joe. Yeah!
They're always back for more.
They're headed for your rights, Joe.
They're hanging now just by a strand.
You've got to tell them "no", Joe.
Fight while you still can!

Take a look at your life.
What do you love? What do you prize?
Can't you see the coming strife?
It's happening now, before our eyes.
Can you think how life might be,
When the things that make you free,
Hang like a thread, waiting to be pulled?
You will see it starts off slow,
Then one day before you know,
You're just a pawn to be controlled.
