Linkin Park - Hands Held High(2007)

[00:23.08] Turn my mic up louder, I got to say something
[00:25.54] Lightweights steppin' aside when we come in
[00:27.78] Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumping
[00:30.04] People on the street then panic and start running
[00:32.54] Words on loose leaf sheet, complete coming
[00:34.69] I jump in my mind, I summon the rhyme I'm dumping
[00:37.09] Healing the blind, I promise to let the sun in
[00:39.25] Sick of the dark ways we march to the drumming
[00:41.54] Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
[00:43.81] Fuck that, I wanna see some fists pumping
[00:46.13] Risk something, take back what's yours
[00:48.46] Say something that you know they might attack you for
[00:50.85] 'Cause I'm sick of being treated like I had before
[00:52.95] Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for
[00:55.20] Like this war's really just a different brand of war
[00:57.56] Like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor
[00:59.80] Like they understand you, in the back of their jet
[01:02.09] When you can't put gas in your tank
[01:03.86] These fuckers are laughing their way to the bank, and cashing their check
[01:06.58] Asking you to have compassion and have some respect
[01:09.07] For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
[01:11.22] Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
[01:13.43] And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
[01:15.97] In the living room, laughing like, "What did he say?"
[01:18.26] Amen
[01:22.04] Amen
[01:26.56] Amen
[01:31.21] Amen
[01:35.76] Amen
[01:41.38] In my living room watching it, but I am not laughing
[01:44.36] 'Cause when it gets tense, I know what might happen
[01:46.05] The war is cold, the bold men take action
[01:48.23] Have to react to get blown into fractions
[01:50.94] Ten years old, there's something to see
[01:52.90] Another kid my age drugged under a Jeep
[01:55.18] Taken and bound and found later under a tree
[01:57.24] I wonder if he had thought 'the next one could be me'
[01:59.69] Do you see the soldiers that are out today?
[02:01.93] They brush the dust from bulletproof vests away
[02:04.18] It's ironic, at times like this you'd pray
[02:06.51] But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday
[02:08.97] There's bombs on the buses, bikes, roads
[02:11.26] Inside your market, your shops, and your clothes
[02:13.66] My dad, he's got a lot of fear, I know
[02:15.82] But enough pride inside not to let that show
[02:18.05] My brother had a book he would hold with pride
[02:20.53] A little red cover with a broken spine on the back
[02:23.52] He hand-wrote a quote inside
[02:25.24] "When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die"
[02:27.40] Meanwhile, the leader just talks away
[02:29.70] Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
[02:32.12] The rest of the world watching at the end of the day
[02:34.43] Both scared and angry, like "What did he say?"
[02:36.53] Amen
[02:40.49] Amen
[02:44.98] Amen
[02:49.77] Amen
[02:54.15] Amen
[02:54.80] With hands held high into a sky so blue
[02:59.43] As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:03.64] With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:08.66] As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:13.39] With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:17.88] As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:22.40] With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:27.19] As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:31.66] With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:36.34] As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:40.89] With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:45.19] As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:48.92]
