We Are Winning

Flobots

    Continues after the ad

    Rival gangsters sit down to plan an after-school program
    A religious fanatic posts footage of an interfaith service project
    A group of teenage boys watches a video of a father playing catch with his son
    An adult film star paints thumbnail portraits of elderly couples, fully clothed and smiling
    A record executive records a demo of his apology
    A policeman makes reverse 911 calls instructing residents to take to the streets
    A patriot reports for duty
    She's wearing an orange jumpsuit and holding a picket sign
    She's ashamed of her birthplace
    But retreat is not an option

    Women and children
    Frontline
    Logon
    Tune in
    Stand and be counted
    Wounded
    Stationed
    In the belly of the vulture
    Watch your back
    Theres no civilians
    Women children
    Frontline
    Listen
    Consider this a distant early warning
    The fires imminent
    Pollution gathering dust particles
    Funneling through smokestacks
    Airwaves
    Bandwidth
    Disinformation tube fed
    Check the label
    Delete the virus
    Alert the masses

    Butterfly wing crosswinds send black hawks toward hurricane survivors
    Roses sprout from empty lots and sidewalk cracks
    Pacifist guerrillas move undetected through concrete jungles
    New forms are beginning to take shape
    Once-occupied minds are activating
    People are waking up
    The insurgency is alive and well

    Rise of the flobots
    Portrait of the new american insurgent
    Rattle and shake the foundation of the world order
    Assembly line consent
    Resist
    Refuse
    Inform
    Create
    Direct loved ones to the trenches
    Suit up
    Forge rubble into fortresses
    Plaster
    Cloth
    Aluminum
    Broken porcelain
    Rusted platinum
    Burn bloodstains from decompressed diamonds
    Hammer the battlecry into braille-studded armor

    We are building up a new world
    Do not sit idly by
    Do not remain neutral
    Do not rely on this broadcast alone
    We are only as strong as our signal
    There is a war going on for your mind
    If you are thinking you are winning
    Resistance is victory
    Defeat is impossible
    Your weapons are already in hand
    Reach within you and find the means by which to gain your freedom
    Fight with tools
    Your fate and that of everyone you know depends on it
