Description Bottle my heart,
Use it as ink.
Don't push me over the edge,
I'll drag you off the brink.
I'm young,
And I'm loud,
And got plenty to say.
I'll keep shouting,
Till you listen,
I'm through running away!

They say they're dominant,
We are the people of humanity.
This world's lost,
Caught up in the jaws of insanity.
The snake might be big,
But we can still fight.
Sparks keep on flying,
So it's time to ignite!

The young are strong,
The old have a voice.
Lets remind them all,
That this is still OUR choice!
Stone me,
Break me,
Buy you'll never take me,
Alive.
I will keep on fighting,
Igniting,
My will to survive.

SOPA,
PIPA,
Worse than I've ever seen,
Do they really understand,
What our rights even mean?
And tell me the truth,
About the NDAA.
Shouldn't everyone get their rights,
In the USA?
WE were built on freedom,
But now,
All we care about is power.
Those on high,
Signing papers,
Getting richer,
By the HOUR!
Those on the bottom,
Made out of skin and BONE.
Not a job in sight,
So a shelter's their HOME.

Addiction running rampant,
Disease on the street.
Living in such hard times,
This kinda thing's hard to beat.
Shine a little light,
Stand tall and PROUD.
Make yourself heard,
Go on and get LOUD!
Cry out broken hearted,
Let the world hear your VOICE!
This is not what you planned,
This life wasn't your CHOICE!

From the day this land started,
Lead by George washington,
We prized our freedoms,
But now they're lost,
ONE BY ONE.
