Breaking Chains: Raised Fist's Anthem for Personal and Global Change
Lyrics
I just don't want to grow up by myself
I want to avoid growing up in isolation.
Believing in that way to change
I believe in a different way of creating change.
I don't want to buy my water out of the bottle
I prefer not to purchase water in plastic bottles.
And I don't want my brain to be chemically damaged
I don't want my mind to suffer chemical damage.
I promised myself I would never pose a threat to anyone else -- Oy, Oy, Oy
I vowed not to be a threat, but anger may change that.
But anger from my side makes me want to change what I just said
Anger tempts me to go back on my promise not to be a threat.
I promised myself I would never pose a threat to anyone else -- Oy, Oy, Oy
Reiterating the vow not to pose a threat.
But anger from my side makes me want to change what I just said
Anger challenges the commitment to non-threat.
We must start to represent the peoples of the change
We need to represent the people advocating for change.
(Otherwise it's) Going to get more hurt by me
If not, there will be more harm caused by the speaker.
In your discussion your mouth is the perfect weapon
In discussions, words can be powerful weapons.
Without the action you're pushing it to the next -- Generation
Words alone are insufficient; action is needed for the next generation.
You have to start with yourself without any distractions
Self-improvement is necessary without distractions.
You have to stop leaving the dirt to the next -- Generation
We must not leave problems for the next generation.
This is up to you and me
Responsibility lies with the present generation.
Not the next -- Generation
Rejecting the idea of burdening the next generation.
This is just making me bleed -- Frustration
The situation is causing frustration and pain.
This is up to you and me
Emphasizing shared responsibility in the current generation.
Not the next -- Generation
Rejecting the notion of passing problems to the next generation.
This is filling me up with -- Frustration
The frustration is intensifying within the present generation.
In a few years we aren't able to see our hands in front of us
A future where visibility is lost, possibly due to environmental degradation.
How can we only blame the big business company
Questioning the blame solely on big businesses; individual responsibility matters.
If we have no care for the world ourselves?
We can't blame corporations if we don't care for the world ourselves.
I promised myself I would never pose a threat to anyone else -- Oy, Oy, Oy
Reiteration of the commitment not to pose a threat.
But anger from my side makes me want to change what I just said
Anger challenges the commitment once again.
I promised myself I would never pose a threat to anyone else -- Oy, Oy, Oy
Reaffirming the pledge not to pose a threat.
But anger from my side makes me want to change what I just said
Anger continues to test the commitment to non-threat.
