11th Hour - Clock Opera

Oh leader, leader, you can change the board

You can close ranks, you can lock the door

But from every window, on every floor

«We're not gonna take this anymore»

Newsreader in a bad dream

Tell us what society means

Yeah, we are angry and we are sore

And we won’t take this from you anymore

You can try to take us off the air

But we want our chance and we want our share

Yeah, we are sickened down to our core

And we won’t take this from you anymore

We are coming with a million feet

Gonna break the gates around your street

Yeah, we are something you can’t ignore

And we’re not gonna take this from you anymore

You’ve got to get mad as hell

Got to go & ring that bell

You’ve got to tell the others

Tell the others

Tell the others

So teacher, teacher, come with me

They’re burning books on every street

They’re taking ground beneath our feet

And we cannot let this happen

We never thought to look so low

They take from those who need the most

We’ve got to let the others know

And we cannot let this happen

But leader, leader saw us there

He closed the window, combed his hair

He still heard something that he ignored

Went back to doing what he did before
