Rise Against - Re-Education(Through Labor) w/ lyrics

Rise Against's new single, Re-Education(Through Labor).

We don't live.We survive.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
-It's not "We bring the dawn over the new", the correct would be "We bring the dawn, long overdue".
-It's not "A judge's sky no longer blue", the correct would be "Under this sky no longer blue".
________________________________________

To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
To the rhythm 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
Because sometimes dreams just don't come true
We wait to reap what we are due

To the rhythm 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
Because 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 insects in your ears
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl... all over you

We sow the seeds to see us through
Our days are precious and so few
We all reap what we are due
Under this sky no longer blue
We bring the dawn long overdue
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl... all over you

[saharaxwolfie]

@TheCommunist100 True, but this song is talking about Re Education THROUGH LABOR, which is a practice in China in which those who commit petty crimes are forced into labor camps where they are forced to work, tortured, and politically re educated to believe what the government thinks they should. The institutions in question have overcrowded and filthy conditions, and many people die as a result.

[TheCommunist100]

You realize re education is useful if the bastard your re educating is a child who was born into a nazi family, etc, no ? Re education is a double edged sword. It can be used for good AND bad reasons. Just saying.
