[Intro]
Don't wanna take my country back
I wanna take my country forward
Don't wanna take my country back
I wanna take my country forward
Don't wanna take my country back

[Verse 1]
Everyone's preaching to their choirs
Words billow up and get trapped in church spires
Wisps of fury against one's neighbor
Reeling around in the echo chamber

[Pre-Chorus]
Now look what we've done to ourselves
We've really gone and fucked it, this time
Look what we've done to ourselves

[Chorus]
So get up, get up and feel the rising tide
I'm fed up, fed up with all the cyanide
Get up, get up and feel the rising tide
Get up, get up (Get up! Get up!)

[Verse 2]
There's anger stashed in the creases of your face
That burning rage could gut a castle
But you torch your neighbor
And now your whole town is ablaze
"Everyone is seeing red"
Laugh the pyromaniacs in the stronghold
Sparking fury against one's neighbor
Twisting the truth with a "blamethrower"

[Pre-Chorus]
Now look what we've done to ourselves
We've really gone and fucked it, this time
Look what we've done to ourselves

[Chorus]
So get up, get up and feel the rising tide
I'm fed up, fed up with all the cyanide
Get up, get up and feel the rising tide
Get up, get up (Get up! Get up!)

[Interlude]
I don't wanna take my country back, back
I wanna take my country forward
I don't wanna take my country back
I wanna take my country forward

I don't wanna take my country back
I wanna take my country forward
I don't wanna take my country back
I wanna take my country forward
[Bridge]
I feel like we're living on the edge
And the cliff's eroding
I feel like we're living on the edge
And the cliff's eroding

I feel like we're living on the edge
And the cliff's eroding
I feel like we're living on the edge

[Chorus]
So get up, get up and feel the rising tide
I'm fed up, fed up with all the cyanide
Get up, get up and feel the rising tide
Get up, get up (Get up! Get up!)
