The Uprising

(written to a tune)

Were you unaware
Of the feelings rising?
Were you unaware
Of the tired wait?

Were you unaware
Of all your missteps,
Being tracked and watched
And held for bait?

Were you unaware
That we were coming?
That we were done
Doing nothing.

Let me make this clear:
We're coming for you, dear.

Do you feel regret
For all your actions?
Do you feel regret
For your bad deeds?

Do you feel regret
Remorse awakening?
Or are you living
In denial's dream?

Do you feel regret
For lives unfurled,
For broken hopes
And dreams you murdered?

You will not forget:
We'll hold you to this debt.

Did you play the fool
For too long, darling?
Did you play the fool
To win the game?

Did you play the fool
To keep on bribing,
Keep them thinking
You were safe and tame?

Did you play the fool
To your advantage,
Or did you get lost
In your bad habits?

We outnumber you:
We're coming for the fools.
