Elbows Up   [Chicago/USA print]

We do things right
But we do them quiet
Elbows up
In this quiet riot
Elbows up
As we get silent
Determined to catch the vermin
We remain defiant

This threat is real
And the treat is violent
Elbows up
In this quiet riot
Elbows up
Until he is silenced
By a gun or a shun
As we remain defiant

We are the resistance
And we fight fire with fire
Elbows up
Until his heart is retired
Elbows up
As darkness transpires
As he fades away
We remain defiant
