[Verse 1]

Is there a reason

For all your lies?

Your hatred and deceit

Reflected in your eyes

All the things you said

All the hate you bred

It's all trapped inside

Inside your feeble head


[Pre-Chorus]

One thing that you should know

There's strength in numbers, and we're starting to grow

Face off, tempers grow short

The noose is getting tighter and you better abort

Mayhem is our middle name

Getting sick and tired of society's game

Vengeance is ours to know

We're taking to the streets, gonna take control


[Chorus]

They say they won't listen to me

All these years I struggled to be free

They say they don't like my ways

Now's the time for retribution

It starts today


[Post-Chorus]

Stand up today, last chance

Don't try to turn your back on me

Stand up today, last chance

Don't try to turn your back on me


[Verse 2]

Are you the keepers

Of all our lives?

You prey and mistreat

We wait for your demise

Dishonest path you've led

Through the blood you've shed

Excuses that you state

Will help us seal your fate


[Pre-Chorus]

One thing that you should know

There's strength in numbers, and we're starting to grow

Face off, tempers grow short

The noose is getting tighter, and you better abort

Mayhem is our middle name

Getting sick and tired of society's game

Vengeance is ours to know

We're taking to the streets, gonna take control


[Chorus]

They say they won't listen to me

All these years I struggled to be free

They say they don't like my ways

Now's the time for retribution

It starts today


[Post-Chorus]

Today, today, today

Today, today, today, today


[Bridge]

We're getting sick and tired of all your lies

When the fuck will you realize

That things are destined for a change?

Been fucking long enough with our brains

Now it's time to feel our pain

Your retribution, it starts today


[Chorus]

They say they won't listen to me

All these years I struggled to be free

They say they don't like my ways

Now's the time for retribution

It starts today


[Post-Chorus]

Stand up today, last chance

Don't try to turn your back on me

Stand up now, get free now, lock down

Don't try to turn your back on me
