Knives Out

This was inspired by the #movietitlechallenge ‘Knives Out’

VERSE
Knives are drawn, no dialogue, we’re finished with the discourse
Enough of prattle, we need action, not more discussion
It’s the time, make a stand, they had their chance for answers
They never offered, compromise, that wasn’t in their favour

CHORUS
Knives’ out, uprise and break free from our shackles
Knives’ out, now’s the time, come join the battle
Knives’ out, no more propaganda served as entertainment
Let’s get the revolution underway.

VERSE
Had enough, of being played with yet more hollow pledges
Demonstrate, congregate in overwhelming numbers
For too long, we’ve gone along, with a system that is broken
Speak the word, be heard in a chorus they can’t shout over

CHORUS
Knives’ out, uprise and break free from our shackles
Knives’ out, now’s the time, come join the battle
Knives’ out, no more propaganda served as entertainment
Let’s get the revolution underway.

BRIDGE
The time is done for accepting things we cannot change
And changing the things we can’t accept
Unite and stand together for the world we desire
The only actions that matter are direct

(MLK Speech Excerpt)

CHORUS
Knives’ out, uprise and break free from our shackles
Knives’ out, now is the time, come join the battle
Knives’ out, no more talking, no more playing games
Let’s start the revolution today.

OUTRO
Knives’ out, uprise and break free from our shackles
Knives’ out, now is the time, come join the battle
Knives’ out, no more propaganda served as entertainment
Let’s get the revolution underway.
