 Struggling with Revolt? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

How did we get in so much trouble?
Getting out just seems impossible
Oppression is persisting
I can’t fight this brain conditioning

Our freedom’s just a loan
Run by machines and drones
They’ve got us locked into their sights
Soon they’ll control what’s left inside

Don’t try to hide it, don’t tell me it’s not there

You’ve got strength
You’ve got soul
You’ve felt pain
You’ve felt love
You can grow (you can grow)
You can grow (you can grow)
You can make this world what you want
You can revolt
You can revolt
You can revolt

Can you hear a distant thunder
Taste earth’s blood and hunger
We live in a toxic jungle
Truth is suppressed to mumbles

They’ll take away our homes
They’re just machines and drones

Don’t try to fight it, don’t tell me you can’t see

That you’ve got strength
You’ve got soul
You’ve felt pain
You’ve felt love
You can grow (you can grow)
You can grow (you can grow)
You can make this world what you want
You can revolt
You can revolt
You can revolt

I can fell your pain
I can feel your confusion
I can see you’re trapped in a maze
Let’s find a way to escape

You’ve got strength
You’ve got soul
You’re not afraid
You’re not a drone
You can grow (you can grow)
You can grow (you can grow)
You can make this world what you want
You can revolt
You can revolt
You can revolt
