Battle Hymn Songtext / Lyric

Whatcha 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

Lose control of your mind and soul in the modern day decay

The riot's starting

Can the kids come out and play?



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!

Hey Hey Hey Hey!

Batten down the hatches

Lock the windows cuz

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



Did you lose control of your mind

And soul in a modern day decay?

The riots starting



Can the kids come out and play?

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!

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 riots starting

Hey kids, come out and play!

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

Cause We run this town!

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!

Hey Hey Hey Hey!

Hey Hey Hey Hey!
