Hands Held High (Live) - Linkin Park

[00:24.94]Turn my mic up louder, I got to say something
[00:26.97]Lightweights steppin' aside when we come in
[00:29.36]Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumping
[00:31.74]People on the street then panic and start running
[00:33.88]Words on loose leaf sheet, complete coming
[00:36.14]I jump in my mind, I summon the rhyme I'm dumping
[00:38.48]Healing the blind, I promise to let the sun in
[00:40.93]Sick of the dark ways we march to the drumming
[00:43.30]Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
[00:45.49]F*ck that, I wanna see some fists pumping
[00:47.99]List something, take back what's yours
[00:50.01]Say something that you know they might attack you for
[00:52.05]'Cause I'm sick of being treated like I had before
[00:54.40]Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for
[00:56.68]Like this war's really just a different brand of war
[00:58.99]Like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor
[01:01.40]Like they understand you, in the back of their jet
[01:03.57]When you can't put gas in your tank, these fu*kers
[01:06.11]Are laughing their way to the bank, and cashing their check
[01:08.27]Asking you to have the passion and have some respect
[01:10.61]For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
[01:12.76]Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
[01:14.99]And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
[01:17.41]In the living room, laughing like, 'What did he say?
[01:19.50]Amen
[01:43.25]In my living room watching it, I am not laughing
[01:45.32]'Cause when it gets tense, I know what might happen
[01:47.73]The world is cold, the bold men take action
[01:50.19]Have to react or get blown into fractions
[01:52.47]At 10 years old, it's something to see
[01:54.45]Another kid my age drugged under a Jeep
[01:56.49]Taken and bound and found later under a tree
[01:58.82]I wonder if he had thought the next one could be me
[02:01.10]Do you see the soldiers that are out today?
[02:03.57]They brush the dust from bulletproof vests away
[02:05.93]It's ironic, at times like this you'd pray
[02:08.21]But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday
[02:10.58]There's bombs on the buses, bikes, roads
[02:13.31]Inside your market, your shops, and your clothes
[02:15.78]My dad, he's got a lot of fear, I know
[02:18.05]But enough pride inside not to let that show
[02:20.09]My brother had a book he would hold with pride
[02:22.60]A little red cover with a broken spine on the back
[02:25.27]He hand-wrote a quote inside,
[02:27.01]'When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die
[02:29.41]Meanwhile, the leader just talks away
[02:31.71]Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
[02:34.03]The rest of the world watching at the end of the day
[02:36.25]Both scared and angry, like 'What did he say?
[02:37.82]Amen
[02:57.01]With hands held high into the skies above
[03:01.05]The ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:05.92]With hands held high into the skies above
[03:10.44]The ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:15.41]With hands held high into the skies above
[03:20.10]The ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:24.18]With hands held high into the skies above
[03:29.10]The ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:33.42]With hands held high into the skies above
[03:37.78]The ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:42.94]With hands held high into the skies above
[03:47.17]The ocean opens up to swallow you
