| | Hands Held High Lyrics Artist(Band):Linkin Park
Light weights steppin aside when we comin' Feel it in your chest the syllables get pumping People on the street they panic and start running Words on loose leaf sheet complete coming I jump on my mind, I summon the rhyme, I'm dumping Healing the blind I promise to let the sun in Sick of the dark ways we marched to the drummin' Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping Fuck that I wanna see some fists pumping Risk something, take back what's yours Say something that you know they might attack you for Cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for Like this war's really just a different brand of war Like it doesn't cater the rich and abandon poor Like they understand you in the back of the jet When you can't put gas in your tank These fuckers are laughing their way to the bank and cashing their check Asking you to have compassion and have some respect For a leader so nervous in an obvious way Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day In their living room laughing like "what did he say?" [Bridge] Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen In my living room watching but I am not laughing Cause when it gets tense I know what might happen The world is cold the bold men take action Have to react or get blown into fractions Ten years old is something to see Another kid my age drug under the jeep Taken and bound and found later under the tree I wonder if he thought the next one could be me Do you see the soldiers that are out today To brush the dust from bullet proof vests away It's ironic, at times like this you pray But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday There's bombs in the buses, bikes, roads Inside your market, your shops, your clothes My dad he's got a lot of fear I know But enough pride inside not to let that show My brother had a book he would hold with pride A little red cover with a broken spine On the back, he hand wrote a quote inside "When the rich wage war it's the poor who die" Meanwhile, the leader just talks away Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day Both scared and angry like "what did he say?" [Bridge] Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you If you find some error in Hands Held High Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

So save your crap for yourself. by the way I think it is in order here to prove to you all god is real if you can prove his nonexistence I will mail you 5 dollars. Goddamn Retards | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/8/09 You dumbasses who supported the shit-for-brains president (who is, thankfully, out of office now) need to get with the Goddamn program. THE TROOPS IN IRAQ ARE BEING CALLED ON TO HANDLE FUCKING DOMESTIC CRIMES AND DISPUTES! WE ARE JUST THEIR FUCKING DOMESTIC LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Call me asher, you are the biggest dumbass of them all if you think that 9/11 was Hussein and Iraq. This song speaks the truth | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/30/09 This song really speaks the truth about this so called "War on Terror" bullcrap. Bush was a very slow-minded person with shit for brains and definitely the worst choice for President of these United States of America(I mean COME ON! HE USED TO(supposedly) DO CRACK FOR CHRIST SAKES!). As Mike says in the song, "When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die." Hopefully Obama follows through with pulling the troops out of Iraq. Let them handle their own crap. If they break into a civil war, well then whoop-dee-flippin'-doo for them. They can handle it themselves. WE SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR OSAMA BIN-LADEN NOT SERVING AS IRAQ'S POLICE FORCE! You can handle yourselves you big frickin' wussies! lets get the facts right next time | Reviewer: JohnJohnson | 11/18/08 The simple facts are that we were fooled into approving the Iraq invasion. Bush's clumsy foreign policy and aggressive military interventionism has actually united and strengthened the radical Islamic factions in the middle east. Our country and the world in general has become far less stable and secure since Bush took office, contrary to what the bravado and itchy trigger finger would lead you to believe. Not to discredit our brave soldiers but the Iraq war has been nothing but a huge financial drain. The American people were tricked and manipulated from the onset. Saddam Hussein had no connection whatsoever to Al-Queda or Bin-Laden. Nor did he posses weapons of mass destruction or even a burgeoning nuclear arms program. After these facts were set straight, the neo-conservatives continued to justify the occupation by pointing to the toppling of Saddam' regime and an end to the atrocities he had committed. The problem with this argument is that dictators like Hussein exist all over the world. Some, such as Kim Jong-il definitely do posses nuclear weapons programs. So why did we choose Iraq? And while we do not hear this in America, many countries, in particular China whose continued investment in US Savings bonds is essential to salvaging our fragile economy, have actually blamed the United States for North Korea leaving the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty. Specifically, they have stated that the pre-emptive invasion of Iraq sent a message to Kim Jong-Il that he must return to his frozen nuclear arms program in order to protect himself from the same fate as Saddam Hussein. Not to mention that Al-Queda is far stronger than before the occupation, due to angry Iraqi citizens who have lost their homes and their relatives to American bombs. Perhaps most importantly, the Iraq war has been a huge economic drain. It is an investment billions of tax dollars with virtually no potential for return. This has been highlighted by the current recession. It is safe to say that the world is a safer, better place with Bush and the neo-conservatives out of power. Great song | Reviewer: Monica | 9/17/08 I hate the dumb-asses here. My uncle died on 9/11, and you want to know what? He would have vehemently apposed this absurd 'war on terror'. Iraq was not at fault for 9/11, and we Americans are not helping - we're just throwing more innocents to death every day. I hate America so fucking much. Call Me Asher = Ignorant !#&* | Reviewer: The Scorpio ILLusion | 9/14/08 9/11 wasn't iraq you ****head.It was Al Qaeda, not Saddam Hussein. The official reason for going into Iraq was that Saddam supposedly had WMD and Chemical weapons. Nothing to do with the war on terrorism - which is something completely different. Al Qaeda consists of a few brainwashed extremists and certainly is not representative of the mass muslim population. Terrorism isn't exclusive to Muslim extremists and certainly isn't a new idea. The KKK consisted of WASPs (White Anglo Saxon Protestants), the IRA was made up of both Catholics and Protestants and there were also seperate cells of both Protestant and Roman Catholic Paramilitaries. Does that mean that all Christians are terrorists because of the actions of a minority? anyway...yet another great song from Linkin Park, a band with a knack for telling things like they are and reflecting real life in their music, with many of their songs representative of how a lot of people feel inside with regards to lots of things - feelings, emotions and even on the Iraq war. Music and politics need not be mutually exclusive. Bush haters | Reviewer: Call me Asher | 9/3/08 Good sound, good effects, (If referring to Iraq) terrible message. We wen't to Iraq after THEY ATTACKED US FIRST. 9/11 showed us they weren't joking. We went over there to stop them, and thank God there haven't been any more major attacks. Before you hate on Bush ask yourself this question--- Would you have done nothing and let more attacks come to our homeland and let more innocent people die? 9/11 | Reviewer: Call me Asher | 9/3/08 I loved to the song until I started listening to the words. Effects and vocals are great. Now I must protest the words and their meaning. You musn't forget why we're in this war...and that reason is 9/11. I remember that day, and I think every one who starts to say anything about the war should think of that day before they open their mouths. Terrorists hijacked planes, and then flew them into the trade towers in NY. Thousands of innocent people died that day. If you could ask any of those that died if they'd want to take the fight over to the middle-east to keep that kind of thing from happening to us again, what do you think their answer would be? "When the Rich wage war it's the poor who die..." This war has nothing to do with rich or poor! We were attacked, would any of you rather us sit and wait for it to happen again? Have you forgotten that we, in the process of eliminating these terrorists, freed a country from an evil dictator? Saved a foreign nation from living in fear? Thus far prevented any other major terrorist attacks on our homeland thus saving more of our people? Have you noticed how many soldiers say the war is pointless? Have you seen any soldier say that doesn't think we need to be over there? Open your eyes my friends. War is not always pointless, war IS sometimes neccessary, and before you diss this nations leaders for waging this war find out why we're waging it. I back BUSH 100%, and if you do a little research I think you'll see things a little differently Review By Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Review the song Hands Held High The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
