Hands Held High - Linkin Park (Minutes To Midnight)
[00:23.08] Turn my mic up louder, I got to say something
[00:25.32] Lightweights steppin' aside when we come in
[00:27.57] Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumping
[00:30.06] People on the street then panic and start running
[00:32.31] Words on loose leaf sheet, complete coming
[00:34.56] I jump in my mind, I summon the rhyme I'm dumping
[00:36.81] Healing the blind, I promise to let the sun in
[00:39.08] Sick of the dark ways we march to the drumming
[00:41.32] Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
[00:43.81] Fuck that, I wanna see some fists pumping
[00:46.06] Risk something, take back what's yours
[00:48.30] Say something that you know they might attack you for
[00:50.30] 'Cause I'm sick of being treated like I had before
[00:52.55] Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for
[00:55.07] Like this war's really just a different brand of war
[00:57.57] Like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor
[00:59.57] Like they understand you, in the back of their jet
[01:02.07] When you can't put gas in your tank
[01:04.08] These fuckers are laughing their way to the bank, and cashing their check
[01:06.82] Asking you to have compassion and have some respect
[01:08.81] For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
[01:11.07] Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
[01:13.56] And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
[01:16.07] In the living room, laughing like, "What did he say?"
[01:18.33] Amen
[01:21.80] Amen
[01:26.57] Amen
[01:31.07] Amen
[01:35.80] Amen
[01:41.57] In my living room watching it, but I am not laughing
[01:43.82] 'Cause when it gets tense, I know what might happen
[01:46.07] The war is cold, the bold men take action
[01:48.31] Have to react to get blown into fractions
[01:50.56] Ten years old, there's something to see
[01:52.83] Another kid my age drugged under a Jeep
[01:55.08] Taken and bound and found later under a tree
[01:57.33] I wonder if he had thought 'the next one could be me'
[01:59.83] Do you see the soldiers that are out today?
[02:02.08] They brush the dust from bulletproof vests away
[02:04.33] It's ironic, at times like this you'd pray
[02:06.58] But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday
[02:08.82] There's bombs on the buses, bikes, roads
[02:11.32] Inside your market, your shops, and your clothes
[02:14.07] My dad, he's got a lot of fear, I know
[02:16.07] But enough pride inside not to let that show
[02:18.07] My brother had a book he would hold with pride
[02:20.32] A little red cover with a broken spine on the back
[02:23.07] He hand-wrote a quote inside
[02:25.06] "When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die"
[02:27.31] Meanwhile, the leader just talks away
[02:29.56] Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
[02:31.81] The rest of the world watching at the end of the day
[02:34.31] Both scared and angry, like "What did he say?"
[02:36.56] Amen
[02:40.07] Amen
[02:44.55] Amen
[02:49.31] Amen
[02:54.07] Amen
[02:55.57] With hands held high into a sky so blue
[02:59.33] As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:03.82] With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:08.60] As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:13.32] With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:17.81] As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:22.28] With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:27.03] As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:31.55] With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:36.30] As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:40.79] With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:45.55] As the ocean opens up to swallow you
