Fight
Rising Voices: Unveiling The Subways' Anthem for Unity and Change
Lyrics
Sending all my love to the terra firma team
Sending love to the people responsible for the Earth's well-being
Empty in the pocket, still we're taking to the streets
Despite financial challenges, actively participating in protests
Do you have the time, members, are you so inclined
Asking if others have time and inclination to address important issues
Or does the situation never weigh upon your mind?
Questioning if societal problems affect their thoughts
Is it happiness you want, where do we begin?
Inquiring about the desire for happiness and where to start pursuing it
Apathy and comfort, sinking lemonade and gin?
Reflecting on the possibility of contentment through indulgence
There's no mystery to where we suddenly find ourselves
Noting the absence of mystery in the current state of affairs
White men are getting rich off POC in cells
Observing economic disparity and racial injustice
If we want a future, then we must do what's right
Advocating for righteous actions to ensure a positive future
If we want to live, then we have to learn to fight (we must do what's right)
Emphasizing the necessity to fight for survival and a better life
Are you ready, are you willing, are you sure?
Checking readiness, willingness, and steadiness for the upcoming challenges
Are you steady as you stamp your feet upon the floor?
-If we want a future, we must all come together
-If we want to live, we must all do much better (we must all come together)
-Are you ready, are you willing, are you sure?
-Are you steady as you stamp your feet upon the floor?
-And now we all fall down
Expressing a collective downfall
Everybody's mezmerised by Eton-Oxford clowns
Criticizing the fascination with privileged individuals and political corruption
Newspapers mirror all the cheapest of desires
-As parliament front benches are all consumed by fire
-Can we stand it, will we ever be believed?
Questioning the credibility of collective belief and the need for mutual support
Can we lift each other up for all to see?
-Hope and Love are so much more than all of us combined
Highlighting the significance of hope, love, and intellectual contribution
So kick the can, and raise your hands, and use your precious minds
-If we want a future, then we must do what's right
Reiterating the call for collective action and personal preparedness
If we want to live, then we have to learn to fight (we must do what's right)
-Are you ready, are you willing, are you sure?
-Are you steady as you stamp your feet upon the floor? (Find us now)
-If we want a future, we must all come together
-If we want to live, we must all do much better (we must all come together)
-Are you ready, are you willing, are you sure?
-Are you steady as you stamp your feet upon the floor? (Find us now)
-Your reverence for genocide, for slavers, and for power
Criticizing historical reverence for oppressive actions and predicting consequences
Is prologue in the story in which we tear down your towers
-If poor hands built empires while you cracked the whip
-Don't cry now, when they decide they'll turn them into fists
-And raise them in the air so every nation's leader sees
Anticipating a global uprising against oppressive leaders
The multitude will raise the heat to a billion degrees
-I guess until that crucial time will come around
Expressing patience until a critical moment for change arrives
You'll hear our voices singing, with our multiculture sound
-If we want a future, then we must do what's right
Repeating the call for righteous action and unity
If we want to live, then we have to learn to fight (we must do what's right)
-Are you ready, are you willing, are you sure?
-Are you steady as you stamp your feet upon your floor? (Find us now)
-If we want a future, we must all come together
-If we want to live, we must all do much better (we must all come together)
-Are you ready, are you willing, are you sure?
-Are you steady as you stamp your feet upon the floor? (Find us now)
-And, now, we all stand up
Symbolic call to action, asking to remember those who suffered
Join me, and take a knee
-Say each and every name
-All those who could not breathe
-
