Hands Held High (Live) - Linkin Park

[00:36.34]Turn my mic up louder, I got to say something
[00:39.17]Lightweights steppin' aside when we come in
[00:41.21]Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumping
[00:43.59]People on the street then panic and start running
[00:45.86]Words on loose leaf sheet, complete coming
[00:47.92]I jump in my mind, I summon the rhyme I'm dumping
[00:50.41]Healing the blind, I promise to let the sun in
[00:52.74]Sick of the dark ways we march to the drumming
[00:54.93]Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
[00:57.32]F*ck that, I wanna see some fists pumping
[00:59.68]List something, take back what's yours
[01:01.99]Say something that you know they might attack you for
[01:04.10]'Cause I'm sick of being treated like I had before
[01:06.38]Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for
[01:08.81]Like this war's really just a different brand of war
[01:10.90]Like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor
[01:13.17]Like they understand you, in the back of their jet
[01:15.50]When you can't put gas in your tank, these fu*kers
[01:18.15]Are laughing their way to the bank, and cashing their check
[01:20.29]Asking you to have the passion and have some respect
[01:22.54]For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
[01:24.98]Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
[01:27.15]And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
[01:29.44]In the living room, laughing like, 'What did he say?
[01:31.30]Amen
[01:55.00]In my living room watching it, I am not laughing
[01:57.32]'Cause when it gets tense, I know what might happen
[01:59.74]The world is cold, the bold men take action
[02:02.00]Have to react or get blown into fractions
[02:04.45]At 10 years old, it's something to see
[02:06.42]Another kid my age drugged under a Jeep
[02:08.57]Taken and bound and found later under a tree
[02:10.83]I wonder if he had thought the next one could be me
[02:13.33]Do you see the soldiers that are out today?
[02:15.52]They brush the dust from bulletproof vests away
[02:17.73]It's ironic, at times like this you'd pray
[02:20.14]But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday
[02:22.41]There's bombs on the buses, bikes, roads
[02:25.06]Inside your market, your shops, and your clothes
[02:27.29]My dad, he's got a lot of fear, I know
[02:29.33]But enough pride inside not to let that show
[02:31.83]My brother had a book he would hold with pride
[02:34.19]A little red cover with a broken spine on the back
[02:36.38]He hand-wrote a quote inside,
[02:38.62]'When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die
[02:40.99]Meanwhile, the leader just talks away
[02:43.05]Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
[02:45.32]The rest of the world watching at the end of the day
[02:47.91]Both scared and angry, like 'What did he say?
[02:49.70]Amen
[03:08.61]With hands held high into the skies above
[03:13.05]The ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:17.74]With hands held high into the skies above
[03:22.26]The ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:27.07]With hands held high into the skies above
[03:31.47]The ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:35.99]With hands held high into the skies above
[03:40.61]The ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:45.21]With hands held high into the skies above
[03:49.76]The ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:54.37]With hands held high into the skies above
[03:58.88]The ocean opens up to swallow you
