 But what is the answer for our [bad word]  We punish a life 'til it's life ever after
 Ever after the place that we all end up being

 Stand and be counted, stand and be counted
 On that let's agree
 Rise up
Courtesy of [bad word]  Dig out the cancer, dig out the cancer of futility

 For we, we shall [bad word] .. someday

 Liars they'll [bad word] not knowing the [bad word] 
 But when all is said
 The voice that is silent can't be heard

 So let us rise up
 Stand and be counted, stand and be counted
 On that let's agree
 Let us rise up
 Dig out the cancer, dig out the cancer of futility

 Rise up
 Stand and be counted, stand and be counted
 On that let's agree
 Let us rise up
 Dig out the cancer, dig out the cancer of all human greed

 For we, we shall [bad word] .. 

 Rise up

 Rise up
 Stand and be counted, stand and be counted
 On that let's agree

 Dig out the cancer, dig out the cancer of all human greed
