Lyrics:
They’re murdering in plain sight
Out in the broad daylight
Then telling us that we just can’t see
How they are justified
Utterly qualified
To act out their brutal killing spree

Ain’t no savior coming, you can get up off your knees
Ain’t no savior coming, you can keep on begging please
Well, there’ll be no rescuing
While we were waiting for an angel, the devil has stepped in

Wait for a shining armored prince
All wrapped in their pretty eloquence
The tyrants can’t hear above their guns
So we hang all our hopes on common sense
Patiently waiting on the fence
Then watch as they burn the whole thing down

Ain’t no savior coming, you can get up off your knees (
Ain’t no savior coming, you can keep on begging please
Well, there’ll be no rescuing
While we were waiting for an angel, the devil has stepped in

It feels like no one’s listening, but history’s keeping track
So shout it from the rafters… let me hear you… in the back (let me hear you in the back)

Ain’t no savior coming, you can get up off your knees
Ain’t no savior coming, you can keep on begging please
Well, there’ll be no rescuing
We’re not waiting for an angel, WE ARE STEPPIN' IN
WE ARE STEPPIN' IN
WE ARE STEPPIN' IN
WE ARE STEPPIN' IN
WE ARE STEPPIN' IN
