Lyrics

Are you sick of the status quo?

Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs or norms.

Just a cog in their machine

Feeling like a small, insignificant part of a larger system or society.

Are you sick of this city bringing you down on your knees?

Frustration with the negative impact of the city on personal well-being.

Are you sick of feeling so left out

Feeling excluded or ignored.

Out on the streets

Experiencing isolation or neglect while navigating the streets.

They didn’t save a spot for you in high society

Disappointment that there is no place for the individual in the upper class or elite.


We’re gonna tear their towers down

Expressing a desire to dismantle the established structures or hierarchy.

Not like they’re not undeserving

Asserting that the current authorities deserve to be challenged or overthrown.

Whole new gang’s in town

Introduction of a new group or force ready to bring about change.

Here to help the table’s turning

Indicating a shift in power dynamics and a reversal of the status quo.

The family you’ve found

Highlighting the formation of a supportive and empowering community.

Better than the boss your serving

Emphasizing the superiority of the newfound family over the existing leadership.

And we won’t stop

Commitment to continuous action and resistance.

Until the city’s burning

Stating the goal of persisting until significant change or upheaval occurs.


Are you sick of tryin’ to fight the fire

Expressing weariness from attempting to combat problems without success.

And always getting burned

Experiencing repeated setbacks or harm while trying to address issues.

Are you sick of hoping things will change wile you sit and wait your turn

Frustration with the lack of change despite waiting patiently for one's turn.


We could use just a little chaos

Suggesting a willingness to introduce disorder or disruption.

We could have some fun

Encouraging enjoyment or excitement in the midst of chaos.

They’re sitting pretty up at the top, well

Pointing out the comfortable position of those in power and advocating for their displacement.

Let’s put ‘em on the run!

Proposing a proactive approach to challenge and overthrow those in authority.
