[Verse 1]
A thousand men in uniform
Kicked down the doors of my concern
Stormed the kingdom
Take its worth
Leaving every stone unturned
A thousand men in uniform
Kicked down the doors of my concern
Stormed the kingdom
Take its worth
Leaving every stone unturned

[Pre-Chorus]
Fate can pick you up
You know that it can put you down
It can pick you up
And spin your head
Around and 'round

[Chorus]
If you hold us back
You know that we can shout
We brought you into this place
You know we can take you out

[Verse 2]
You've been in school for ten years now
Eighty grand indebted down
Every day's a missile test
Your dancing shoes and torn up dress
Twenty Seventeen we know
Reality's one big sick show
Every day's a crisis fest
Your dancing shoes and torn up dress

[Pre-Chorus]
Fate can pick you up
Oh! You know that it can put you down
It can pick you up
And spin your head
Around and 'round
[Chorus]
If you hold us back
You know that we can shout (no no no)
We brought you into this place
You know we can take you out (no no no)
If you hold us back
You know that we can shout (no no no)
We brought you into this place
You know we can take you out

[Bridge]
There's a coup in our country
It's happening now
A coup in our city
It's happening downtown
Every tragedy has its sad clown
Victory has its dark cloud

[Chorus]
If you hold us back
You know that we can shout (no no no)
We brought you into this place
You know we can take you out (no no no)
If you hold us back
You know that we can shout (no no no)
We brought you into this place
You know we can take you out
[Outro]
Oh
