Anti-Flag
When All the Lights Go Out
[Verse 1]
One billion workers stand up from their chairs
Their faces no longer struck with their fears
Attack/Attack
Stabbed in the back
Disgraced/Disgraced
Traitors trade face to face
Revolution... the engine of history
[Chorus]
When all the lights go out
When all the world is in doubt
When all the goods cease to move
I won't be alone
When all the swords become plows
When all the fields are afoul
When all the cogs cease to turn
I won't be alone
[Verse 2]
Punching the clock, stabbing the boss
We don't need no CEO's they need us
Attack/Attack
Outsourced for a hack
Disgraced/Disgraced
Displace and replace
Proletarians of the world unite;
You have nothing to lose but your chains
[Chorus]
When all the lights go out
When all the world is in doubt
When all the goods cease to move
I won't be alone
When all the swords become plows
When all the fields are afoul
When all the cogs cease to turn
I won't be alone
[Bridge]
We are not numbers
We are names
We won't be alone
We are not crime reports
We are history
We won't be alone
No, we are not folklore
We are culture
We won't be alone
We are not human resources
We are human beings
I won't be... I won't be... We won't be alone!
When all the lights go out...
When all the lights go out...
[Outro]
When all the lights go out
When all the world is in doubt
When all the goods cease to move
I won't be alone
When all the swords become plows
When all the fields are afoul
When all the cogs cease to turn
I won't be a... I won't be a... We won't be alone!
