Rage against the system
The things that we've been taught
Can't always play the victim
In cages we have sought
Race against the clock
To undo these locks
Question things that we have fought
Challenge all that we have thought
Every stone they throw at me
I will use to build me up
Every shot they take at me
Tells me I should not give up
Now's the time to raise our voice
Speak up now or have no choice
Every rock's a stepping stone
Stand together not alone
We will not be quiet
We will not be bought
We will start a riot
We will not be caught
Can you hear the people?
Can you hear the people?
Can you hear the people?
Can you hear the people?
Fight against the system
That tries to shut us out
No gates, no laws, no distance
Could ever keep us out
Fight the institutions
No man and no religion
Can block the constitution
Of our revolution
Every stone they throw at me
I will use to build me up
Every shot they take at me
Tells me I should not give up
Now's the time to raise our voice
Speak up now or have no choice
Every rock's a stepping stone
Stand together not alone
We will not be quiet
We will not be bought
We will start a riot
We will not be caught
Can you hear the people?
Can you hear the people?
Can you hear the people?
Can you hear the people?
The same sun shines on all of us
But the light won't shine on all of us
Some have to work a little harder
Some have to shout a little louder
We won't give up, we won't be stunted
Till we're heard, we're seen and counted
Hear the people, hear the people
People
Hear the people, hear the people
People
Hear the people, hear the people
People
Hear the people, hear the people
People
Hear the people, hear the people
People
Hear the people, hear the people
People
Hear the people, hear the people
People
Hear the people, hear the people
People
Hear the people, hear the people
People
Hear the people
