Текст песни Take Back the Power (Live) - The Interrupters

Tokyo, how are you feeling?
We're The Interrupters, this is our very first time in Japan
Thank you so much for the warm welcome, arigato!
This next song is a protest song but it's also a unity song
Because there's no room for any racism
There's no room for any sexism
There's no room for any homophobia
There's no room for any bigotry of any kind
So let's have a moment of unity right here right now
Everybody, put your hands in the air
We're gonna clap together, ready?
Go!

What's your plan for tomorrow? Sing
(Are you a leader or will you follow?)
Are you (a fighter or will you cower?)
It's our time to take back the power

What's your plan for tomorrow?
Are you a leader or will you follow?
Are you a fighter or will you cower?
It's our time to take back the power (yeah)

Whatcha gonna do
When they show up in black suits
On your street in army boots
And they're there to silence you?

Whatcha gonna say
When they strip your rights away
And the taxman makes you pay
For every bead of sweat you bled today?

We don't need to run and hide (that's right)
We won't be pushed off to the side
Hey!

What's your plan for tomorrow?
Are you a leader or will you follow?
Are you a fighter or will you cower?
It's our time to take back the power

What's your plan for tomorrow?
Are you a leader or will you follow?
Are you a fighter or will you cower?
It's our time to take back the power
Yeah!
Woo!

Who you gonna trust
When the judge is so unjust
And the jury must discuss
Said you don't look like one of us?

Where you gonna turn
Now the court has been adjourned
And the lessons that you learned
Are not as many as the bridges burned?

We don't need to run and hide (that's right)
We won't be pushed off to the side
Hey!

What's your plan for tomorrow?
Are you a leader or will you follow?
Are you a fighter or will you cower?
It's our time to take back the power

What's your plan for tomorrow? (I love you)
Are you a leader or will you follow?
Are you a fighter or will you cower?
It's our time to take back the power
Yeah!

(Oy! Oy! Oy! Oy!)

We don't need to run and hide (that's right)
We won't be pushed off to the side (everybody, get those hands in the air)

What's your plan for tomorrow?
Are you a leader or will you follow?
Are you a fighter or will you cower? (Sing it)
It's our time to take back the power

What's your plan for tomorrow? (Yeah)
Are you a leader or will you follow?
Are you a fighter or will you cower?
It's our time to take back the power

What's your plan for tomorrow? (Yeah)
Are you a leader or will you follow?
Are you a fighter or will you cower?
It's our time to take back the power
It's our time to take back the power
It's our time to take back the power

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
We love you!
