Rise Up

The three of them sat there in the abandoned garage they temporarily called their home, gazing at each other's bruises and cuts. They'd been hit hard earlier in the evening; lost that round with the ones they called their enemy. Music was playing low in the background, occasionally drowned out by the sound of thunder.

 

"So I put my middle finger up

I'm done being your slave

My generation's had enough

And you should be afraid

Oh-whoa, oh, not your prisoner

Oh-whoa, oh, better listen when I say

I put my middle finger up

I'm done being your slave"

 

The lyrics could be heard as the thunder settled and the three of them looked up at each other, catching each other's eye. Listening to the music, they felt their hearts beat harder and they began to feel more pumped. Smirking to each other, the trio stood and grabbed their weaponry and headed for the door.

 

"Living like a riot

Setting off the sirens

Fists are clenched, I'm fighting

Soul has been ignited

Ain't got time for dyin'

I'm too busy thrivin'

More than just survivin'

Heart is beating violent

Living like a riot

Setting off the sirens

Fists are clenched, I'm fighting

Soul has been ignited

Ain't got time for dyin'

I'm too busy thrivin'

More than just survivin'

Heart is beating violent"

 

They stepped out into the alleyway, one popping a piece of gum as he slung his barbed wire bat over his shoulder. To his right, his friend shifted his neck, cracking it and gazing at the one in front of him. In front of them, the man cracked his knuckles and curled his lips, ready for the fight; to lead his brothers back into battle once more.

This time they would rise up and win.

 

"So I put my middle finger up

I'm done being your slave

My generation's had enough

And you should be afraid

Oh-whoa, oh, not your prisoner

Oh-whoa, oh, better listen when I say

I put my middle finger up

I'm done being your slave"
