Bloody hands and calloused feet
Tired faces all worn out
Simple pleasures that go nowhere
This is what we have become
Overbearing daily tasks
Steel-tipped smiles and shattered glass
Massive structures tower above
This place is all you know
So throw the wrench
Black cat emblem
Seize the means
Do not cross the picket line because
This time around, we are obliged to stay and stand our ground
What the fuck are you talking about?
The words you speak - they make no sense
The clouds seem greyer than before
Your assumptions they do not hold here
Some ropes need to be rewound
Before they can tie anything down
Scrape the mud from off your shoes
There’s no noise in the engine room
So sabotage
Then reconstruct it
Burn the flag
For every oppressed body
This time around, we are obliged to stay and stand our ground
This time around, no compromise
We stay and stand our ground
Steadfast, Unified; Proud to swim against the tide
Ballern!
