"Take A Side" lyrics

"Take A Side"

You gotta take a side
Your silence is torment and you're the tormentor
What are you doing here?
Sometimes you gotta interfere

And that's the way it goes
Sometimes it's best to get a bloody nose
Buck up against your fear
And throw them the fuck out of here
Throw your body on the gears of the machine
Better to get dirty than to be unclean

Press me down, then I pressurize, then I rise up
Like diamonds, rise up all you diamonds
So rise up, rise up all you diamonds
Pressure rise all you diamonds

Well they smashed us but well
We found our feet and found our voice
Now we give 'em all hell
And now they're gone
And now it's steady on
It's only brave when you know me
And you don't fucking know me

Press me down, then I pressurize, then I rise up
Like diamonds, rise up all you diamonds
So rise up, rise up all you diamonds
Pressure rise all you diamonds

I've been bad, bad since the beginning
I shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot my mouth off
Will you pop off
Before you go soft
Tell me what's your tether
Your connection to this world
Will you protect me
'Cause I'm connected too
