lyrics

take yourself to places you didn’t think to go
show yourself to people you didn’t know before
make yourself strong
give yourself stride
bring all your children along
FOR THE RIDE
FOR THE RIDE

we stand up for our kindred, the earth and ourselves
we reject all institutions and societies of wealth
we choose to fight back
we choose to take pride
we take all our kindred along

FOR THE RIDE
FOR THE RIDE

CHORUS

and we vow to stand up and take space
and we vow to show up and make peace
and we vow to tear up and rearrange
and we vow to love true
and we vow to be strange!

the cynics, the fascists and the corporate politicians
sleepwalk their way through the world that we live in,
we’re sick of this dream
we’re sick of the lies
get out of our way or get on

FOR THE RIDE
FOR THE RIDE

CHORUS
and we vow to stand up and take space
and we vow to show up and make peace
and we vow to tear up and rearrange
and we vow to love true
and we vow to be strange!

the time. Is now. To FUCK SHIT UP!
the time. Is now. To SHAKE THEM UP
the time. Is now. TO WAKE THEM UP!
WAKE THEM UP!
WAKE THEM UP!
