Rise up, rise up - our message is clear
Dismantle this culture of rancor and fear
Open the borders and tear down the walls
And cheer as the hateful start to crumble and fall
Rise up, rise up - our time is now
Take to the streets and we'll all stand our ground
They might bring the torches but we'll bring the fire
To burn through their drivel and their ugly desires
They'll try and they'll try but they can't take us down
They'll try and they'll try but they can't take us down
Their anger is loud but we'll drown out the sound
They'll try and they'll try but they can't take us down
Rise up, rise up – we've got to open our eyes
To the lies and deceptions that seek to divide
Fear is their weapon, with poisonous words
And ignoring the symptoms can't bring us a cure
So rise up, rise up – there's no time to waste
When apathy breeds unawareness and hate
We'll tear down the echo chamber, cut through the noise
And unmask the truth behind their fraudulent poise
They'll try and they'll try but they can't take us down
They'll try and they'll try but they can't take us down
They can't walk all over and push us around
Yeah they'll try and they'll try but they can't take us down
Hey! Hey! We are the resistance
Hey! Hey! With voices all around, screaming
Hey! Hey! We're gonna keep on fighting
And we won't back down, no we'll never back down
So let's welcome this world with arms open wide
And celebrate our differences with honour and pride
Break down the barriers, throw open the doors
And hear the voices that were silenced now too loud to ignore
Hey! Hey! We are the resistance
Hey! Hey! With voices all around, screaming
Hey! Hey! We're gonna keep on fighting
And we won't back down, no we'll never back down
So try your best to do your worst
But we'll keep fighting until you've cursed
Our names so much your throat feels tight
Yeah we're gonna fight, you know we're gonna fight
