Lyrics

Intro

Wake up

(Wake up)

Grab your papers grab your phone

(Wake up)

Verse 1

Sirens hum beneath the interstate

Somebody's rent just went up twice

Cops in armor children on the pavement

Crying out for a loaf of bread and a little advice

Pre-Chorus

We voted we waited we watched it rot

The bill passed the checks cleared the tape erased

Chorus

Machines eat the poor and call it progress

Machines eat the poor and call it law

Tell me who profits tell me who bleeds

Tell me who holds the pen

Post-Chorus

Na na na na

Na na na na

Fall in line

Fall in line

Verse 2

Flags on the porch but the pantry is bare

They shipped the jobs and they kept the fear

My brother signed his name in a field

Now the oil runs red and he's not here

Pre-Chorus

Preachers pray the market holds

The market holds the poor in place

Chorus

Machines eat the poor and call it progress

Machines eat the poor and call it law

Tell me who profits tell me who bleeds

Tell me who holds the pen

Post-Chorus

Na na na na

Na na na na

Fall in line

Fall in line

Bridge

Daron

(Serj)

Daron

(Serj)

Bow down to the ledger

Bow down to the flag

Bow down to the bounty

Bow down

Breakdown

Silence is a tax

Silence is a tax

Silence is a

Silence is a

Scream

Chorus

Machines eat the poor and call it progress

Machines eat the poor and call it law

Tell me who profits tell me who bleeds

Tell me who holds the pen

Outro

Na na na na

Na na na na

Wake up

(Wake up)
