Protest Songs No.1: “Are We Alive?”

(Martin Colyer/Mark Pringle)

We’re taking out the rich – and their acolytes,
It’s the end of the road, and the start of the fight.
Revolution’s in the air, and the time is right,
Why the wait? Let’s go tonight!

In their basement pools and their panic rooms,
They watch the fray, sat on heirlooms…
But are the troops amassed, or scattered blithe?
Did we hesitate, or are we alive?

Are we alive?
Are we alive?
Are we alive?
