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!!!
