Verse 1

Down let's take it down

 raise up the heads on a stake

 we will show no mercy

 on evolution's mistake

change will have to wait

 if we can't de--cide on a fate

 self appointed profits

 and a doomsday charade

Refrain 1

 you preach about love

 and teach about fate

 but all your beliefs

---- x2

are still rooted in hate

Chorus 1

crosses to bend

axes to fall

 and down on your knees

 you just don't look so tall

crosses to bend

axes to fall

 and down on your knees

 you just don't look so tall

Verse 2

 stop punch in the clock

 punch it with all of your rage

 put the men in office

 for a minimum wage

rats fighting for scraps

 siphon the gas from your tank

 left your pockets empty

 as they laughed at the bank

Refrain 2

 they speak about draws

 but make no mistake

 they shaking your head

  ---Gm(hold) x2

while they spit in your face

Chorus 2

crosses to bend

axes to fall

 and down on your knees

 you just don't look so tall

crosses to bend

axes to fall

 and down on your knees

 you just don't look so tall

Verse 3

now the time is now

 we can still turn it around

 raise your voice like a weapon

 til they fall to the ground

light let there be light

 without a shadow of doubt

 we will fight tooth

 and nail until

 salvation is found

Refrain 3

 so how can you look

 the world in the eyes

 when all we can see

  ---Gm(hold) x2

is corruption and lies

Chorus 3

down on your knees

 you don't look so tall

down on your knees

 you don't look so tall

Chorus 4

cracking the whip on

 the backs of the poor

 we asked you to stop but

 you still wanted more

 the blood on your hands

 left a trail as you crawl

down on your knees you

 just don't look so tall

Chorus 4

crosses to bend

axes to fall

 and down on your knees

 you just don't look so tall

crosses to bend

axes to fall

 and down on your knees

 you just don't look so tall

crosses to bend

axes to fall

 and down on your knees

 you just don't look so tall

crosses to bend

axes to fall

 and down on your knees

 you just don't look so tall

open your eyes and

 the empire falls!!!
