[Verse 1]
A symptom of the state
A consequence of madness
An overwhelming sense of an underlying sadness
The rain on the parade
Will only soak the ballots
The kids are wide awake
And they rage against the palace

[Pre-Chorus]
Someone
Save us

[Chorus]
Gotta get back up
When you've been on the way down
There's a spark, there's a light
There's a will, there's a way out
It could be so tight, it could be so sick
It just ain't right and it just ain't this
We need more fight and we need more grit
We need more punks and we need more bricks

[Verse 2]
The next emergency can only be so tragic
An opportunity for the next distraction tactic
The victims get the blame
When pricks get caught red handed
And don't reach for your kids
'Cause we got this boat surrounded
[Pre-Chorus]
Someone
Save us

[Chorus]
Gotta get back up
When you've been on the way down
There's a spark, there's a light
There's a will, there's a way out
It could be so tight, it could be so sick
It just ain't right and it just ain't this
We need more fight and we need more grit
We need more punks and we need more bricks

[Bridge]
Yeah, we need more punks
And we need more bark
And we need more bite
Just because it's not on your own doorstep
Doesn't make it right
It doesn't make it right
We gotta make it right
We gotta make it

[Chorus]
Gotta get back up
When you've been on the way down
There's a spark, there's a light
There's a will, there's a way out
It could be so tight, it could be so sick
It just ain't right and it just ain't this
We need more fight and we need more grit
We need more punks and we need more bricks
[Outro]
Gotta get back up
When you've been on the way down
There's a spark, there's a light
There's a will, there's a way
There's a way
There's a way out
