lyrics

Tell me what you’re gonna do
Tell me what you’re gonna do?
Darkness falls on the people’s hearts
So tell me what you’re gonna do

Tell me what you;re gonna say
When they come to take what’s yours away?
Will you type it out, or stand up and shout
Tell me what you’re gonna say

No i’m not gonna cry when i should be fightin’
I’m not gonna hide when I need to be strong
I’m not gonna run when i see what’s comin’
Been comin’ so long so long

Tell me how you're gonna feel
Tell me when it’s really real
Did you think your color meant
You would somehow be exempt? No
Tell me when it’s really real

Tell me if you’ll come with me
Tell me when you feel the need
I think we been here before
Ain’t this just another civil war?
So tell me when it’s time to bleed

(Chorus)

Bring it on, bring it on

Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up

Tell me when you’re gonna prove
How you’re s’posed to feel about you?
If you don’t fight you might lose your light
Tell me you’re gonna do
Tell me you’re gonna do
Tell me you’re gonna do
Tell me you’re gonna do?
