lyrics

All we know is what we're told
And the cycle goes on again, again, again

All us drones will stand and wait
As heroes built of greed and hate
Fix the game and ask us to roll again

One of us could free your mind
One of us could free your mind
One of us could lead the cry
(No way! No way! No way!)

Brothers, sisters, we need more
Brothers, sisters, we need more
The fuck you livin' for?
(No way! No way! No way!)

Stolen land on which we stand
Would you have them sit still again, again, again? (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Oh those generational scars have left holes, have made them hard,
And the only thing that we know for sure

One of us could free your mind
One of us could free your mind
One of us could lead the cry
(No way! No way! No way!)

Brothers, sisters, we need more
Brothers, sisters, we need more
The fuck you livin' for?
(No way! No way! No way!)

She said her name was Mary
I caught a paradox thought
We talked reconciliation over the beers we bought
She said her peoples' struggles fall on deaf ears unless she speaks with peace
I said, "You can be angry here."

It was 1996 when the government closed the final gates
Decades of abuse and cultural genocide, thousands of kids had met their fate
Ten thousand dollars. That's your price on peace of mind?
Clean your conscience for a paycheque and believe you can leave moral debt behind
If you're living on the wrong side of history, you should run 'cause you can't hide.

Stand tall
Stand tall
(Ignorance and hatred go hand in hand)
I'll be right by your side
(Stop lying to your children, this is stolen land)

March on
March on
I'll be right by your side

One of us could free your mind
One of us could free your mind
One of us could lead the cry
(No way! No way! No way!)

Brothers, sisters, we need more
Brothers, sisters, we need more
The fuck you livin' for?
(No way! No way! No way!)

One of us could free your mind
(And I've got your back when the world attacks
Your voice impels, so give 'em hell)
One of us could free your mind

One of us could change the tide
One of us could lead the cry
(No way! No way! No way!)
