the flobots - we are winning lyrics

[spoken]
rival gangsters sit down to plan an after-school program
a religious fanatic posts footage of an interfaith service project
a group of teenage boys watches a video of a father playing catch with his son
an adult film star paints thumbnail portraits of elderly couples, fully clothed and smiling
a record executive records a demo of his apology
a policeman makes reverse 911 calls instructing residents to take to the streets
a patriot reports for duty
she’s wearing an orange jumpsuit and holding a picket sign
she’s ashamed of her birthplace
but retreat is not an option

women and children
frontline
logon
tune in
stand and be counted
wounded
stationed
in the belly of the vulture
watch your back
there’s no civilians
women children
frontline
listen
consider this a distant early warning
the fires imminent
pollution gathering dust particles
funneling through smokestacks
airwaves
bandwidth
disinformation tube fed
check the label
delete the virus
alert the m-sses

[spoken]
b-tterfly wing crosswinds send black hawks toward hurricane survivors
roses sprout from empty lots and sidewalk cracks
pacifist guerrillas move undetected through concrete jungles
new forms are beginning to take shape
once-occupied minds are activating
people are waking up
the insurgency is alive and well

rise of the flobots
portrait of the new american insurgent
rattle and shake the foundation of the world order
-ssembly line consent
resist
refuse
inform
create
direct loved ones to the trenches
suit up
forge rubble into fortresses
plaster
cloth
aluminum
broken porcelain
rusted platinum
burn bloodstains from decompressed diamonds
hammer the battlecry into braille-studded armor

[spoken]
we are building up a new world
do not sit idly by
do not remain neutral
do not rely on this broadcast alone
we are only as strong as our signal
there is a war going on for your mind
if you are thinking you are winning
resistance is victory
defeat is impossible
your weapons are already in hand
reach within you and find the means by which to gain your freedom
fight with tools
your fate and that of everyone you know depends on it
