Lyrics of Re-Education (Through Labor) by Rise Against
verse
To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
pre-chorus
To the rhythym of the awful, rusting machines
We toss and turn but don't sleep
Each breath we take makes us thieves
Like causes without rebels
Just talk but promise nothing else
chorus
We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
'Cause sometimes dreams just don't come true
We wait to reap what we are due
verse
To the rhythm of a timebomb ticking away
pre-chorus
And the blare of the sirens combing the streets
Chased down like dogs we run from
Your grasp until the sun comes up
chorus
We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
'Cause sometimes dreams just don't come true
Look now at what they've done to you
bridge
White needles buried in the red
pre-chorus
The engine roars and then it gives
But never dies
'Cause we don't live, we just survive
On the scraps that you throw away
chorus
I won't crawl on my knees for you
I won't believe the lies that hide the truth
I won't sweat one more drop for you
'Cause we are the rust upon your gears
We are the insect in your ears
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl all over you
outro
We sow seeds to see us through
Our days are precious and so few
We all reap what we are due
Under this sky no longer blue
We bring a dawn long overdue
We crawl
And we crawl
And we crawl all over you
Writer(s): Brandon Barnes, Zach Blair, Timothy Mcilrath, Joseph Principe
