Viewing lyrics for Rise Up, Take Back by The Seven Dollar Sunglasses.

Another week is done
Another internet successfully defended
Another day closer to finals
Another song partially made

When they try to take away your rights
And there's nothing you can do because you gotta live your own life
You gotta keep your own mind strong
Cause they go on and on and on and on
We gotta

(chorus)
Rise up, take back
Make the world how it once was going to be
Rise up, take back
Our minds from religion, gotta set 'em free
Rise up, get out
Take your mind with you, leave a note explaining why you've gone
Rise up, let's shout
And we'll win when they can all hear this song

One more day, another news story
Yet another shot at fucking up what we were meant to be
What we did, it was all for nothing
But I'm still not finished, no they can't win this easily

Oh, they can beat us up, but they can't beat us down
And we'll always be back no matter how bad it gets for us
We gotta let 'em know that they can't keep us down, oh yeah
We gotta

Chorus

I don't need the bullshit about your magical friend in the sky
I don't need the bullshit about how many babies are never gonna get to cry
I don't need the bullshit, and I do not need your god
So I will keep on fighting until my breathing stops
I'm gonna

Rise up, take back
Make the world how it was always meant to be
Rise up, take back,
Your mind from religion, gonna set you free
Rise up, get out,
Never gonna tell you where the hell I've gone
Rise up, big shout
Revolution's on its way and you better not block it out
