What are you waiting for?
Why won't you make a sound?
Boy, don't you hold back
Son, don't you slow down
Your family sings melodies
Why won't you listen, boy?
Your family sings melodies
Why won't you listen, boy?

Try to remember
The guilt will never go
You already know
I'm not the first to say
The world is yours to hold

Why won't you fight?
Why won't you make this right?
Put up your fists
Take back your fucking life

Now is the time for you to get up
And change your life

What are you waiting for?
Why won't you make a sound?
Boy, don't you hold back
Son, don't you slow down
Your family sings melodies
Why won't you listen, boy?
Your family sings melodies
Why won't you listen, boy?

Full speed ahead
If you trip, life's a bitch
So get up and do it again
I wouldn't say to leave your dreams at bay

Why won't you fight?
Why won't you make this right?
Put up your fists
Take back your fucking life
Now is the time for you to get up
And change your life

What are you waiting for?
Why won't you make a sound?
Boy, don't you hold back
Son, don't you slow down
Your family sings melodies
Why won't you listen, boy?
Your family sings melodies
Why won't you listen, boy?

This is in my bones
This is the only way I feel at home
I won't let go, it's all I know

Your family sings melodies
Why won't you listen, boy?
Your family sings melodies
Why won't you listen, boy?
Your family sings melodies
Why won't you listen, boy?
Your family sings melodies
Why won't you listen, boy?

What are you waiting for?
Why won't you make a sound?
Boy, don't you hold back
Son, don't you slow down
Your family sings melodies
Why won't you listen, boy?
Your family sings melodies
Why won't you listen, boy?
What are you waiting for?
Why won't you make a sound?
Boy, don't you hold back...
