Chairs thrown and tables toppled,
Hands armed with broken bottles,
Standing no chance to win but
We're [bad word]  we're [bad word] 

There's a point I think we're missing,
It's in the air we raise our fists in,
In the smiles we cast each other
"my sister, my brother"

About the time we gave up hoping,
We never find these locks still open,
Stumbling on stones unturned,
The hurt we feel, we all have earned.

The lines we've crossed in search of change,
but all they see is treason

Although we have no obligation to stay alive,
On broken backs we beg for mercy,
We will survive (break out)
I won't be left here, behind closed doors.

Bonfires burn like beacons,
Guiding the lost and weakened.
Flames dance on crashing waves,
Guiding ships who've gone astray

Time out, let's stop and think this through,
We've all got better things to do,
Than talk in [bad word] in place,
Answers inches from my face.

Black eyes, broken fingers,
Blood drips and I let [bad word] Down my lips into my swollen gums,
When hope is non-existent,
Our instincts all scream [bad word] , we never
Turn our backs or even bite our tongue.
