Lyrics

[Intro] Every day, they take away A little piece of you, a little piece of me The good things in life are free No, they'll never take that away from me [Verse 1] People, get up, get out of your cage The ones that control you aren't turning the page Boiling the water that's been poured on your brow Same hot mess that we're swimming in now And all of you racists can say what you want But soon they'll be coming for you with more than just guns And I pray for the day when the power of lovе Is stronger than the knife that cut us up [Chorus] Evеry day, they take away A little piece of you, a little piece of me The good things in life are free No, they'll never take that away from me Every day, they take away A little piece of you, a little piece of me The good things in life are free No, they'll never take that away from me [Verse 2] It's a march of the pigs, so righteous beware They'll step on you here and they'll step on you there The oldest of lie to ever be told Put fear in the heart of a woman so bold And after the ashes, after the blood After the waters rise up from the flood Who will you look for the place the blame? The media? The system? Or the ones with no name? [Refrain] It's the long (Long) con (Con) Running (Running), running (Running) It's the long (Long) con (Con) Coming (Coming), coming (Coming) [Chorus] Every day, they take away A little piece of you, a little piece of me The good things in life are free No, they'll never take that away from me Every day, they take away A little piece of you, a little piece of me The good things in life are free No, they'll never take that away from me [Bridge] One step forward, two steps back Three steps forward, four steps back [Chorus] Every day, they take away A little piece of you, a little piece of me The good things in life are free No, they'll never take that away from me Every day, they take away A little piece of you, a little piece of me The good things in life are free No, they'll never take that away from me [Outro] One step forward, two steps back (Two steps back) One step forward, two steps back (Two steps back) One step forward, two steps back (Two steps back) One step forward, two steps back (Two steps back)
