Down, let's take it down
raise up the heads on a stake
we will show no mercy
on evolution's mistake
change, will have to wait
if we can't decide on a fate
self appointed profits
and a doomsday charade
you preach about love
and teach about fate
but all your beliefs are still rooted in hate
crosses to bend
axes to fall
and down on your knees you just don't look so tall (x2)
stop, punch in the clock
punch it with all of your rage
put the men in office
for a minimum wage
rats, fighting for scraps
siphon the gas from your tank
left your pockets empty
as they laughed at the bank
they speak about draws
but make no mistake
they shaking your head while they spit in your face
crosses to bend
axes to fall
and down on your knees you just don't look so tall (x2)
now, the time is now
we can still turn it around
raise your voice like a weapon
til they fall to the ground
light, let there be light
without a shadow of doubt
we will fight tooth and nail until
salvation is found
so how can you look
the world in the eyes
when all we can see is corruption and lies
down on your knees
you don't look so tall (x2)
crackin the whip on the backs of the poor
we asked you to stop but you still wanted more
the blood on your hands left a trail as you crawl
down on your knees you just don't look so tall
crosses to bend
axes to fall
down on your knees you just don't look so tall (x3)
crosses to bend
axes to fall
down on your knees, you don't look so tall
open your eyes and the empire falls
Billy Talent is a Canadian rock band formed in 1993 under the original name Pezz. The members, who knew each other since high school, recorded some demos before their official debut album in 1998. Their first album, titled *Watoosh!*, was independently released and achieved moderate local success but failed to gain national recognition. In 2003, the band changed its name to Billy Talent and released their self-titled album, which marked a turning point for them. With subsequent albums like *Up Against the Wall* (2006) and *Billy Talent III* (2009), they gained an international following, becoming one of Canada's most prominent rock bands. Their songs are characterized by energetic riffs, introspective lyrics, and a strong punk-rock influence. Some of their most representative tracks include "Red Flag", "Devil on My Shoulder" and "Fallen Leaves".
