Rise Against - Re-Education (Through Labor)

Interpret: Rise Against
Album: Appeal to Reason
Release: 03.10.2008
Label: Geffen Records

Lyrics:
To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
To the rhythym of the awful rusted machines
We toss and turn but don't sleep
Each breath we take makes us thieves
Like causes without rebels
Just talk but promise nothing else

We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
The sometimes dreams just don't come true
We wait to reap what we are due

To the rhythym of a time bomb ticking away
And the blare of the sirens combing the streets
Chased down like dogs we run from
Your grasp until the sun comes up

We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
The sometimes dreams just don't come true
Look now at what they've done to you

White needles buried in the red
The engine roars and then it gives
But never dies
'Cuz we don't live
We just survive
On the scraps that you throw away

I won't crawl on my knees for you
I won't believe the lies that hide the truth
I won't sweat one more drop for you
'Cuz we are the rust upon your gears
We are the insect in your ears
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl...all over you

We sow seeds to see us through
Our days are precious and so few
We all reap what we are due
A judge's sky no longer blue
We bring the dawn all over new
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl...all over you

I could picture Nickleback singing this song.

We will reap what we are due

Ron Paul 2012, revolution is coming, the elitists will fall and the people will once again rule.

@shadowmywolf I like Country music, but this isn't really the place to go if you want more listeners. Rise Against is sorta the Anti-Country. Although I listen to both...

[TwiningsHome]

Great song !!!!!

[shadowmywolf]

@Laidleypunk12 haha lady, my brothers into country, fuck that shit, im with this, kmk, slightly stoopid that kinda music, i race dirtbike not rock back and fourth in a chair

[Laidleypunk12]

@shadowmywolf Are you ... HIGH!? Country music is soooo boring. It's like really really really bad emo (and all emo is really really really bad) ... not to mention it is right wing as fuck ... just ... no

[Laidleypunk12]

@IamTheLandolfo hahahaha! Oh Its funny how you said its about a post apocalyptic future America, dude, its fucking modern society in a nut shell, go outside and look everywhere, your labour is advertised daily, in the form of flyers, billboards and ads ... no, this song is not about the future, its about now...

And I agree, does remind of Fallout 3 and the Pitt

[metagunify]

[FatalityWar]

@wolfie615 It's rusting machines. You've been playing too much Call of Duty.
