lyrics

there’s anger in the city
and it’s burning to the countryside
can’t fight this fire with rhetoric
or teleprompted lies
generations come full circle
to rally in the square
for years the fear kept us from here
but tonight we’re gonna dare
to turn our voices into one
that can’t be tuned out or killed
your tradition says tear down
but tonight we’re gonna build

something wild
out of control, undefiled
with the wonder and sense of a child

out of the shadows and the gallows
and the sub-subservient blues
from feeling old and tired
to finally feeling new
but the news of the day, you won’t walk away
you are much too proud
your position so dear, you refuse to hear
your people cry out loud
for God to hold us in his hand
and arm us for the fight
to cover us with mercy now
to bring into the light

something wild
out of control, undefiled
with the wonder and sense of a child
got a bullet in the fight
for the bully in the fight

got a bullet in the fight
for the bully in the fight

got a bullet in the fight
a bullet in the fight
for the bully in the fight

we sing our song in concert
we know it all by heart
we practiced it for decades
and now it’s time to start

something wild
out of control, undefiled
with the wonder and sense of a child

got a bullet in the fight

got a bullet in the fight
a bullet in the fight
for the bully in the fight
