Mesh - This Is The Time

They build us up To throw us down We have an opinion But that isn’t allowed We build it tall And watch it fall We work in a factory but make nothing at all But it’s hard, to resist That there’s more, so much more to be missed And it’s hard, to believe That we’ve been so completely deceived This is the time To make a stand To face our fear To understand This is the time To change our plans To hold our nerve To stand our ground We work so hard We do things right We love all our children But that isn’t a right We stay in touch We talk too much We live in our dreams But they’re nothing but dust But it’s time to concede That I need more than this to be free And it’s hard, to believe That we’ve been so completely deceived This is the time To make a stand To face our fear To understand This is the time To change our plans To hold our nerve To stand our ground And they don’t want the things we do We knew it once and it’s still true And it’s our right to pick and choose They beat us once, but we don’t lose I’m sick of this pain it won’t go away I’m sick of this guilt for all that I’ve built I hate this crowd, for making me proud I hate this town for pulling me down This is the time To make a stand To face our fear To understand This is the time To change our plans To hold our nerve To stand our ground And they don’t want the things we do We knew it once and it’s still true And it’s our right to pick and choose They beat us once, but we don’t lose
