Choose your weapon, show your anger, time to take up the fight,
We cannot sit in silence while authority claims it's right
To control our very being from the moment of first breath
Regulation, structure, order follow us until death
Told we must accept their power as legitimate and true
Told we must use their methods, told there's nothing we can do
We must begin to turn our back on authority's persistence
Time to take a step toward our active resistance
Fight back against their power
Fight back against their greed
Live a life of total freedom
Propaganda by the deed

Once our movement wielded power causing fear within the state
Pushing power into history forced them to retaliate
So we took our acts of vengeance with a riot, gun, or bom
Exposing state repression which they'd hidden for so long
Governments made the martyrs but the movement wouldn't die
And another generation lives on to defy
The power and authority that has been held on
By people who won't freely admit that they are wrong
Fight back against their power
Fight back against their greed
Live a life of total freedom
Propaganda by the deed

Technology, propaganda and complex bureaucracy
The foundation of the system of modern authority
Our old methods seem so twisted our ideals would be perverted
Through their tacit agreements, our movement would be thwarted
But resistance takes on many forms and vengeance is but one
The road to freedom is ahead, but the journey's just begun
Education, change in lifestyle, and a little social change
Are the weapons in our battle at this early stage
Fight back against their power
Fight back against their greed
Live a life of total freedom
Propaganda by the deed
[X2]
Fight back!
