Linkin Park song off of new album |
|
Hands Held High is the title and it is a very good song with a powerful message. An excerpt:
Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping Fuck that I wanna see some fists pumping
Risk something, take back what's yours Say something that you know they might attack you for
Cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for
Like this war's really just a different brand of war Like it doesn't cater the rich and abandon the poor
Like they understand you in the back of the jet When you can't put gas in your tank
These fuckers are laughing their way to the bank and cashing their check Asking you to have compassion and have some respect

Do you see, the soldiers, they're out today they Brush the dust from bulletproof vests away. It's ironic, at times like this you pray, but a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday. There's bombs on the buses, bikes, roads, inside your market,your shops, your clothes, My dad, He's got a lot of fear I know but enough pride inside not to let that show. My brother had a book he would hold with pride A little red cover with a broken spine. On the back, he hand wrote a quote inside: "when the rich wage war, it's the poor who die" And meanwhile, the leader just talks away Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay and the rest of the world watching at the end of the day both scared and angry like "what did he say?"
