[Verse]
As you see 'em all dispellin', ain't no truth in what they sellin'
They got lies carryin' on for days
They rollin' dice on unmarked graves
The market's up, the economy tanking, your kids starving
They keep banking
The fix is in what they baking, profits rise and you die forsaken
[Chorus]
But for the grace of god, go I against I against I
Familiar passages and prayers that I don't recognize
But for the grace of god, go I against I against I
I'll see you on the other side
[Verse]
Foreclosure signs stockholder magic
Dollar signs revel in the tragic, drama paid for by ten corporations
Hold up!
They rollin' high while you roll low
Push 'em up while they trickle down—NO!
You break your back, they break their averages
Then throw your ass out in the cold
[Chorus]
But for the grace of god, go I against I against I
Familiar passages and prayers that I don't recognize
But for the grace of god, go I against I against I
I'll see you on the other side
[Bridge]
You know I'm gonna rise like a river, stand and deliver
Someone come on, say rise up (come on, someone say rise up)
You know I'm gonna rise like a river, stand and deliver
Someone come on, say rise up (come on, someone say rise up)
[Verse]
Let it all drop and go the ebb and flow
I'm standing here because I know the difference between
Wrong and right and how hard we still gotta fight
[Bridge]
You know I'm gonna rise like a river, stand and deliver
Someone come on, say rise up (come on, someone say rise up)
[Chorus]
But for the grace of god, go I against I against I (Rise up!)
Familiar passages and prayers that I don't recognize (Rise up!)
But for the grace of god, go I against I against I (Rise up!)
I'll see you on the other side (Rise up!)
But for the grace of god, go I against I against I (Rise up!)
Familiar passages and prayers that I don't recognize (Rise up!)
But for the grace of god, go I against I against I (Rise up!)
I'll see you on the other side
