This Town Is Yours and Mine

Lyrics

[Intro] One, two— Hands up! [Verse 1] They drew the line in a committee room We brought the names they tried to bury Paper signs in the pouring rain Every block has a voice to carry [Pre-Chorus] You can lock the doors You can mute the hall But a thousand throats Will outlast them all [Chorus] We are here, we are loud You don't speak for us now No more deals behind closed doors We want justice, nothing less We are here, we are loud Every voice cuts through the crowd Stand together, hold the line This town is yours and mine [Verse 2] A nurse came straight from the night shift A kid with ink across his sleeve The old man held his union banner Said, “I know what we can achieve” [Pre-Chorus] You can lock the doors You can mute the hall But a thousand throats Will outlast them all [Chorus] We are here, we are loud You don't speak for us now No more deals behind closed doors We want justice, nothing less We are here, we are loud Every voice cuts through the crowd Stand together, hold the line This town is yours and mine [Breakdown] Who gets heard? We do! Who decides? We do! No more waiting! No more lies! [Final Chorus] We are here, we are loud You don't speak for us now No more deals behind closed doors We want justice, nothing less We are here, we are loud Every voice cuts through the crowd Stand together, hold the line This town is yours and mine [Outro] This town is yours and mine!
