the way i’ve always been treated
systematic second class resident
i always knew i was being cheated
by someone else’s president
the hillarys they tell ya want you wanna hear
and then they stab you in the back and hit the cashier
the trumps make you feel strong and free
unless ya black, brown, a woman, or care about anything but money .
yeah we need an underdog
or yeah we’re going under y’all
the earth says it’s time to stand tall
one way or another changes is coming
imagine a world that we ain’t never knew
the one we long for we gotta choose
the galaxy’s ready we gotta let it loose
if you ready for change c’mon and tell the truth
the temperature's rising
we’re feeling the burn
the people are rising
we’re seeing the light
the truth is rising
we’re feeling the bern -party
vote for life on election night

CHORUS

If the people are the sun, leaders are the rays
feel the burn, feel the burn
Truth is too wide to get around, give it your face
feel the burn, feel the burn
Fire is too hot to water down, we’re in a blaze
Feel the burn, feel the burn
It’s an old movement, but a new moment awakes
Feel the burn, feel the burn

Why do I feel so much pain, when the wars won’t change?!
My dreams turned nightmares, good old boys gangs!
Stuck in their ways, rubber trades, forests for coltan
Like the people vs Koch bros in a bad video game!
Black vs white or killing a player by his name
Why is it they wanna rule the world, but don’t even know themselves?
Buying life, left and right, selling poverty for wealth
This is the time for change to come home and,
each and every beating heart must be our own and
freedom needs responsibility, honor the grievance.
If everyone is called and all are chosen, why do so few choose?!
We are in this together, let the change be the news!

If the people are the sun, leaders are the rays
feel the burn, feel the burn
Truth is too wide to get around, give it your face
feel the burn, feel the burn
Fire is too hot to water down, we’re in a blaze
Feel the burn, feel the burn
It’s an old movement, but a new moment awakes
Feel the burn, feel the burn
