I never knew;
That I could be so selfless,
that you could be so self assured,
that no one else could help us,
we're just so easily ignored.

But time goes by
the lying gets harder to see
so I'm, oh I'm
building an army of me
yes I'm building an army of me

Then we rise up singing,
we learn to ride the tidal wave the storm is bringing
then we rise up singing
scream at the sky 'till a new sun rise is beaming, beaming

so we build one up just to burn one down, down
(it's like a metaphor for the whole [bad word] town, town)
you can start a revolution just by raising your voice
so build an army boys, let's build an army boys

Then we rise up singing
we learn to ride the tidal wave the storm is bringing
then we rise up singing
scream at the sky 'till a new sun rise is beaming, beaming

so we build one up just to burn one down, down
(it's like a metaphor for the whole [bad word] town, town)
so we build one up just to burn one down, down
