American Century

Looking out on a New England town
Thinking on what brought the British down
Thirteen colonies were overrun
Power turning on a book and a gun

Hear the call to arms
(There's a rising up)
End of silence
(The time has come)
Bringing harm to bear their license
End of tyranny
(Take a stand)
Open sympathy
(And they will join with you)
Challenging their reign with violence

Power resting in the hands of a few
Paranoia once again, it's true
Shadows fall across this broken land
Disillusion people understand

Hear the call to arms
(There's a rising up)
End of silence
(The time has come)
Bringing harm to bear their license
End of tyranny
(Take a stand)
Open sympathy
(And they will join with you)
Challenging their reign with violence
