WE CAN DO IT

You don’t want me to speak up

Though it’s my human right

Just sit here and take it

Crumble without a fight

It’s not in my moral fiber

To play that I’m a fool

Silence is a sickness

When there’s something I can do

~~~*Chorus*~~~

And I can do it

I can be the eyes

Watching for the heavy hands

Who want to suppress lives

I can do it

I can be the voice

Challenging oppressors

Who aren't giving me a choice

I’m smart enough to comprehend 

Strong enough to wield the whip

And I’m morally sound

So I can do it

~~*~~

You ignore the constitution

We don't uphold it just for fun

We’re not a third world country

You can smash under your thumbs

We’re living and we’re breathing

We’re the reason you exist

So don’t play us against you

And expose your ignorance

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

Everyone will not agree

It’s never been that way, and it will never be

But don’t go changing rules to please the few

It’s a foolish thing to do

You fight against democracy

Throw yourselves into the pit

Righteous men will rise against you

And they can do it

~~*~~

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

They can do it

They can be thee eyes

Watching for the heavy hands

Who want to suppress lives

They can do it

They can be the voice

Challenging oppressors

Who aren't giving them a choice

They’re smart enough to comprehend

Strong enough to wield the whip

And they’re morally sound

So they can do it
