I'm introduced to a plague of ignorance
 Might be my own but I can't be too sure
 Looking to be rescued
 with no sign of deliverance
 That can't exist, it can't exist

 Hearts can grow so cold
 in the heat of the moment
 It freezes over like the devil's abode
 Don't look so troubled
 You're the salt of the Earth now
 We can't regress, we can't regress

 Back to higher ground
 Reaching up, we won't back down
 Back to higher ground
 Reaching up, we won't back down
 Back to higher ground

 Hope can dry up like the LA river
 But droughts never last forever
 thirst for more is just human nature
 We can't regress, no we can't regress

 Socially conscious of self-consciously social
 Show my [bad word] colors like a waving flag
 Make up in strife for direction that I lack
 We can't regress, we can't regress

 Back to higher ground
 Reaching up, we won't back down
 Back to higher ground
 Reaching up, we won't back down
 Back to higher ground

 Dancing on their grave
 To the sound of savage victory
 With the power we possess
 We can't regress, we can't regress

 Sing a song of freedom,
 Pay homeage to the fathers
 That paved the way for sonic liberty
 note that rings so [bad word] in all of us
 We can't regress, We can't regress

 Back to higher ground
 Reaching up, we won't back down
 Back to higher ground
 Reaching up, we won't back down

 Back to higher ground
 Reaching up, we won't back down
 Back to higher ground
 Reaching up, we won't back down
