Rise Against - The First Drop Lyrics






I'm calling out
Only echoes respond
But I scream 'til my voice is gone
Crouching in corners and hiding your face
I'm sick and tired of playing your games

I'm not alone
I stand amongst the voiceless
Millions in the unforgiving sun

Here arm-in-arm
We parade these streets
And sing our songs (and sing our songs)

We've had enough
Is there even anything left to explain? (We've had enough)
Am I really someone you need to restrain? (We've had enough)
Can't you listen to what we have to say? (We've had enough)

Unknowing, we lie and wait for the rain
To wash away what they have made
Face down in the dirt with your foot on my back
In the distance I hear thunder crack

C'mon Stand up !
This system of power and privilege is about to come to an end
Here come the clouds
The first drop is falling down (falling down)

We've had enough
Is there even anything left to explain? (We've had enough)
Am I really someone you need to restrain? (We've had enough)
Can't you listen to what we have to say? (We've had enough)

Our futures burn in red horizons
Ashes scattered in winds of change
Casualty numbers are rising
Now it's time to raise the stakes

We're meant for something more than living just to put food on our plates
I can't help but wonder--why should we participate?

We've had enough
Is there even anything left to explain? (We've had enough)
Am I really someone you need to restrain? (We've had enough)
Can't you listen to what we have to say? (We've had enough)

  5. T.... ....

    I'm with you.

  6. L.... V....

    This song should have come right after Dancing For Rain. That would be epic :D

    L.... V....

    Leonidas V but then Life Less Frightening would be after State of the Union

  7. d.... t....

    I think that if people find the video to be subpar, they SHOULD dislike it to show their anonymous (mostly) opinion. You shouldn't assume that everyone disliking the video is doing so to anger anyone else. Think about it for a second.

    d.... t....

    Sounds like you were the one who disliked the video lol

    d.... t....

    Well to his credit that is literally the first person I've ever seen on youtube being apologetic about disliking a video. Either people just be rude about it or do it anonymous (mostly).

  8. E.... S....

    This definitely is my favorite Rise Against song.. "We're meant for something more than living just to put food on our plates. I can't help but wonder-- why should we participate?"

  9. S.... ....

  10. A.... G....

  11. M.... F....

    My favorite band i have almos every song!

    @AnthonySmith22 That there is the power of rise against the can cue anything with pretty much one song

  13. A.... S....

    Does 0 dislikes mean that trolling has been cured?

  17. d.... ....

  18. s.... ....

    I love this music, but from a 'meaning' point of view it's complete bollocks; moaning about politics for no good reason

  19. F.... P....

    I know it´s hard, but pay attention to the backing vocals, principally on the last part of the song. Just fucking amazing....

    F.... P....

    Fernando Papi The power of Chris Chasse my brother.

  20. K.... P....

  26. d.... ....
