Once an honest man could go from sunrise to its set 
Without encountering agents of his state or government 
But a sorry cloud of tyranny has fallen across the land 
Brought on by hollow men, who did not understand 
That for centuries our forefather have fought and often died 
To keep themselves unto themselves, to fight the rising tide 
And that if in the smallest battles we surrender to the state 
We enter in a darkness whence we never shall escape 

When they raise their hands up our lives to possess 
To know our souls, to drag us down, we'll resist. 

Watt Tyler led the people in 1381 
To meet the king at Smithfield and issue this demand: 
That Winchester's should be the only law across the land 
The law of old King Alfred's time, of free and honest men. 
Because the people then they understood what we have since forgot: 
That a government will only work for its own benefit 
And I'd rather stand up naked against the elements alone 
Than give the hollow men the right to enter in my home 

When they raise their hands up our lives to possess 
To know our souls, to drag us down, we'll resist. 

Stand up Sons of Liberty and fight for what you own 
Stand up Sons of Liberty and fight, fight for for your homes. 

So if ever a man should ask you for your business or your name 
Tell him to go and f*ck himself, tell his friends to do the same. 
Because a man who'd trade his liberty for a safe and dreamless sleep 
Doesn't deserve the both of them, and neither shall he keep.
