Whoa oh Whoa oh 
Whoa oh Whoa oh 

I woke up sweat soaked in the morning
I was mourning freedom buried deep
Mourning freedom buried deep
In tickers and broadcasts through power lines
Freedom buried in sound bites, buried in headlines

And we sing
Whoa oh Whoa oh 
Whoa oh Whoa oh 

A nation in fervor has given up
No, no, no, this fight has just begun
With movements and revolutions as few and far between
As movements and revolutions will ever come to be 

This scare is blood soaked red (So red)
I marked down the last words that you said, as we watched this city

Whoa oh Whoa oh 
Watch it burn!
Whoa oh Whoa oh 
Alright!

It's beaten in and beaten in
We're coming back around again
It's beaten in and beaten in
We're coming back around again

This scare is blood soaked red (So red)
I marked down the last words that you said, as we watched this city
Fall and hit the ground
No one can ever replace what we've lost now
Fall and hit the ground
No one can ever replace what we've lost now, yeah!

We're coming back around
Whoa oh Whoa oh 
We're coming back around
Whoa oh Whoa oh 
We're coming back around
Whoa oh Whoa oh 
We're coming back around
Whoa oh Whoa oh 
We're coming back around
Whoa oh Whoa oh 
We're coming back around
Whoa oh Whoa oh 
We're coming back around
Whoa oh Whoa oh 

We're coming back around
