[Verse 1]

A life of work is a life of crime

You pay your taxes, you serve your time

All that money, where does it go?

School, prison, hospital, road

Government funding of military science

Genetically engineered, ultraviolent

DNA, killer genes

To program microchip, marine

See stealth bombers and tomahawks

On CNN, pay-per-view war

[Chorus]

Rise, rise

Rise, rise

Rise, rise

Rise, rise

[Verse 2]

Hey, wage slave, where's your profit share?

They got you down, they're gonna keep you there

Freeze your mind, metamorphose

Cocaine karma in the heroin zone

Multinational life is cheap

Soldier, worker, maggots, meat

Get on up, protest riot

Are you collateral damage or a legitimate target?

[Chorus]

Rise, rise

Rise, rise

Rise, rise

Rise, rise

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Sweet sixteen dehumanised

Death's head, factory suicide

Sweet sixteen dehumanised

Death's head, factory suicide

Sweet sixteen dehumanised

Death's head, factory suicide

Sweet sixteen dehumanised

Death's head, factory suicide, -cide

[Chorus]

Rise, rise

Rise, rise

Rise, rise

Rise, rise

Rise, rise

Rise, rise

Rise, rise

Rise, rise

[Instrumental Outro]
