lyrics

Would that I could turn of phrase
Just to turn you round
But all systems go there grinding harder more
All systems go ahead
don't be a policeman don't be a fool
Go ask weather-
man, it ain't made
It comes, it just comes
Chorus:
Together hold together
Rattle the cage
Rattle the cage
Rattle the cage
Together all together
Rattle the cage
Rattle the cage
Shake the wall 'til they all fall down
I'm so tired of being scared
Always living in fear
If it ain't a cop, it's a criminal
If it ain't the earth about to heave and throw
Got to heave and throw, yeahIt's the crumbling of our pillars
and all our pedestals
It's a monument to heroes
Broken in the mud
It's a stolen future
(Chorus)
Is this the way we rise and fall
Holding back the sea?
No empty slogans or promises
a simple song of peace
Don't ever say that we don't belong
Don't say we're weak because we're feeling strong
Feeling stronger
Feeling stronger, every day
