Rise Against - The First Drop

Im calling out
Only echoes respond
But I scream til my voice is gone
Crouching in corners and hiding your face
Im sick and tired of playing your games

Im not alone
I stand amongst the voiceless
Millions in the unforgiving sun

Here arm-in-arm
We parade these streets
And sing our songs (and sing our songs)

Weve had enough
Is there even anything left to explain? (Weve had enough)
Am I really someone you need to restrain? (Weve had enough)
Cant you listen to what we have to say? (Weve had enough)

Unknowing, we lie and wait for the rain
To wash away what they have made
Face down in the dirt with your foot on my back
In the distance I hear thunder crack

C'mon Stand up !
This system of power and privilege is about to come to an end
Here come the clouds
The first drop is falling down (falling down)

Weve had enough
Is there even anything left to explain? (Weve had enough)
Am I really someone you need to restrain? (Weve had enough)
Cant you listen to what we have to say? (Weve had enough)

Our futures burn in red horizons
Ashes scattered in winds of change
Casualty numbers are rising
Now its time to raise the stakes

Were meant for something more than living just to put food on our plates
I cant help but wonder--why should we participate?

Weve had enough
Is there even anything left to explain? (Weve had enough)
Am I really someone you need to restrain? (Weve had enough)
Cant you listen to what we have to say? (Weve had enough)
