Hands Held High - Linkin Park

[00:23.34]Turn my mic up louder I've got to say something
[00:25.72]Lightweights stepping aside when we come in
[00:27.96]Feel it in your chest the syllables get pumpin
[00:30.31]People on the street they panic and start running
[00:32.55]Words on loose leaf sheet complete coming
[00:34.80]Jump in my mind I summon the rhyme I'm dumpin
[00:37.16]I'm healing the blind I promise to let the sun in
[00:39.53]Sick of the dark ways we march to the drumming
[00:41.79]Jump when they tell us that they want to see jump
[00:44.04]**** that I want to see some fists pumpin
[00:46.31]I missed something take back what's yours
[00:48.40]Say something that you know they might attack you for
[00:50.78]'Cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before
[00:53.09]Like I'm stupid standing for what I'm standing for
[00:55.34]Like this war's really just a different brand of war
[00:57.78]Like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor
[01:00.03]Like they understand you in the back of the jet
[01:02.44]When you can't put gas in your tank
[01:03.98]These ******* are laughing their way to the bank
[01:05.94]And cashing their check asking you
[01:07.39]To have compassion and have some respect
[01:09.15]For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
[01:11.57]Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
[01:13.76]The rest of the world watching at the end of the day
[01:16.20]In the living room laughing like what did he say
[01:17.91]Amen Amen Amen Amen
[01:35.83]Amen
[01:40.86]
[01:41.83]In my living room watching but I am not laughing
[01:44.12]'Cause when it gets tense I know what might happen
[01:46.38]The world is cold and bold men take action
[01:48.71]Have to react or get blown into fractions
[01:50.76]
[01:51.30]Ten years old and something to see
[01:53.17]Is another kid my age drugged under a jeep
[01:55.36]Taken abound and found later under a tree
[01:57.55]I wonder if he thought the next one could be me
[01:59.87]Do you see The soldiers that are out today
[02:02.40]That brush the dust with bullet proof vests away
[02:04.62]It's ironic at times like this you pray
[02:06.94]But a bomb blew tha mosque up yesterday
[02:09.18]There's bombs on the buses bikes roads
[02:11.80]Inside your market your shops your clothes
[02:13.91]My dad he's got a lot of fear I know
[02:16.19]But enough pride inside not to let that show
[02:18.45]My brother had a book he would hold with pride
[02:20.80]A little red cover with a broken spine
[02:22.99]In the back he hand wrote a quote inside
[02:25.21]'When the rich wage war it's the poor who die'
[02:27.70]Meanwhile their leader just talks away
[02:30.04]Stuttering and mumbling for Nightly News to replay
[02:32.35]The rest of the world watching at the end of the day
[02:34.76]Both scared and angry like what did he say
[02:36.35]Amen Amen Amen Amen
[02:55.07]With hands held high into a sky so blue
[02:59.44]As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:04.27]With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:08.65]As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:13.42]With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:18.04]As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:22.71]With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:27.21]As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:32.22]With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:36.48]As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:41.73]
