  • [[Spoken: Transmitted.... signals coming through? .....okay. ]]

    Echo echo one-nine
    Hear the call through fault lines
    Smoke signals, old rhymes
    Shorted lights in store signs
    Spelled in a broken code
    Find that it is time to
    Breath, build, bend, and refine you

    We sky tenants
    Give it all but won't give up
    Radio soul antennas
    Radio to lift spirits
    Call sign commando
    M.O. is independence
    Scream till the walls fall
    Dissolve all the limits

    Occupied minds
    Unemployed skills
    Desolation
    Worn out
    Torn down
    Just for now thrill seekers
    Slanging
    Test tube babies in beakers
    Where gun blasts pump straight from the speakers

    The system where the
    Poor get poorly paid
    To hold the ladder
    Where the rich get ricocheted
    Into the stratosphere
    And in between people are rushin' like Vladimir
    With medals to make their status clear
    Get us out of here

    [Chorus: Repeat 2X]
    We need heroes
    Build them
    Don't put your fist up
    Fill them
    Fight with our hopes and our hearts and our hands
    We're the architects of our last stand

    There's a war going on for your mind
    Those who seek to occupy it will stop at nothing
    The battlefield is everywhere
    There is no sanctuary
    There are no civilians
    You have two choices
    Surrender or enlist

    What kind of person are you
    Always the first to argue
    Or never down to stick your neck out
    'Cause it hurts you far too much
    To see your rep suffer
    Set you up a buffer
    Well neither is enough for us cut from a tougher brand

    Of duct tape the propaganda's stuck on us like sock pajamas
    Spread like a virus
    Through accepted thoughts and proper manners
    But off the cameras
    Somethings simmering across the land
    About to bubble up
    And knock the lids off of the pots and pans

    We are non stop juggernauts
    Stomp ziggurats
    Spit manifestos
    By terabytes and gigawatts
    Shock paradigms
    Give sense to a score
    Throw thoughts through the sky
    Activate twenty more

    In these high and dry times
    Expectorate on dogma
    Pragmatic sycophants
    Divide and conquer
    We build bridges offer
    Hard work and prosper
    As hand made heroes brought to you by no sponsors

    [Chorus: Repeat 4X]

    All free minds to the front
    All free minds to the front
    We call upon women
    We call upon children
    We call upon the handicapped
    The infirmed
    The weak of heart
    We need your courage
    Your dedication
    Your passion
    Your conviction
    Gather up your platinum
    Melt it down
    Gather up your gold
    Melt it down
    Gather up your silver
    Your bronze
    Your aluminum
    Melt it down
    Melt it down
    Melt it down Writer/s: ANDREW GUERRERO, JAMIE LAURIE, JESSE WALKER, KENNETH ORTIZ, MACKENZIE ROBERTS, STEPHEN BRACKETT
