(Verse 1)
We’ve been standin’ in the shadows, lost in the noise
Forgotten by the leaders, left with no choice
They sold us out for silver, left us in the dust
But the power’s in the people, in the hands of us
(Pre-Chorus)
We’ve got a fire that you can’t tame
A rebel spirit in our veins
It’s time to rise, break the chains
We’re taking back our names
(Chorus)
We’re gonna take it back, back to the streets
Where every voice matters, every heart beats
We’ll shake the ground, make a sound,
For the lost and the found
We’re taking back our pride, taking back control
Hand in hand, every rock and roll soul
This land, this fight, it’s time we unite
We’re taking it back tonight
(Verse 2)
They tried to keep us quiet, they tried to keep us weak
But there’s thunder in our voices every time we speak
From the heartland to the city, across the red and blue
We’re waking up the people, standing up for truth
(Pre-Chorus)
With our guitars like rifles, drums like thunder rolls
The rhythm of rebellion pounding in our souls
We’re a nation on a mission, rising like the dawn
For every right they stole, for everyone gone
(Chorus)
We’re gonna take it back, back to the streets
Where every voice matters, every heart beats
We’ll shake the ground, make a sound,
For the lost and the found
We’re taking back our pride, taking back control
Hand in hand, every rock and roll soul
This land, this fight, it’s time we unite
We’re taking it back tonight
(Bridge)
It’s not left, it’s not right, it’s about what’s true
A country built by me, by her, by you
Raise your hands, raise your voice, let ‘em hear the sound
The people have awakened, we’re battleground bound
(Chorus)
We’re gonna take it back, back to the streets
Where every voice matters, every heart beats
We’ll shake the ground, make a sound,
For the lost and the found
We’re taking back our pride, taking back control
Hand in hand, every rock and roll soul
This land, this fight, it’s time we unite
We’re taking it back tonight
(Outro)
Yeah, we’re taking it back
No more lies, no more fear
The power’s in the people, that’s crystal clear
With the fire in our souls, and a flag held high
We’re taking it back, till the day we die
