Battle Hymn

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ali Tabatabaee] What'cha gonna do when they come kicking down your front door? Will you lay down, surrender like you did before? Suffocating on the broken promises you can't ignore The pressure's mounting, remember what you're fighting for Lay down your arms, take your pill, sit still and obey What's in the harm kill your will, find someone to betray [Pre-Chorus: Ali Tabatabaee] Lose control of your mind and soul in the modern day decay The riot's starting, can the kids come out and play? [Chorus: Matty Lewis] Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down Light it up, 'cause we run this town Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down Light it up, we run this town [Post-Chorus: Matty Lewis] Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey [Verse 2: Ali Tabatabaee] Batten down the hatches, lock the windows 'cause they're breaking in Out on the street, let me hear your battle hymn Keep your finger on the trigger, notify your next of kin Chance for survival, optimistically, is one in ten Give up the fight, stand down and walk away Like a dying light, once bright, now starting to grey [Pre-Chorus: Ali Tabatabaee] Did you lose control of your mind and soul in the modern day decay? The riot's starting, can the kids come out and play? [Chorus: Matty Lewis] Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down Light it up, 'cause we run this town Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down Light it up, we run this town [Bridge: Ali Tabatabaee] So laddie doddie, the system is shoddy Just take your punches in bunches and go exploit somebody So come on, lose control of your mind and soul in a modern day decay The riot's starting, hey kids, come out and play [Pre-Chorus: Matty Lewis] Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down Light it up, 'cause we run this town Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down Light it up, we run this town [Chorus: Matty Lewis] Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down Light it up, 'cause we run this town Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down Light it up, we run this town
