If Not Now... - The Guild League

There is talk of revolution in the quiet suburbs
And a year ago you would've said that was absurd
Because we'd filled our lives with emptiness
So corpulent and self-obsessed
Drowning any hopefulness
We found inside our head and chest
Is it smoke or steam that's rising from the hospital
We're doing things we once thought were impossible
And who can fully understand
Why we sat down to take a stand
And now the water's rising
It seems the walls are made of sand
If not now then when
And if not you then who
If not now then when
And if not you then who
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness
Is it smoke or steam that's rising to the city-sky
What will we do when there is nothing left to buy
When we wake with no one but ourselves
Our empty hearts and empty shelves
Maybe we'll finally hear the sea
That's held within out empty shells
If not now then when
And if not you then who
If not now then when
And if not you then who
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness
Can you tell me who else will be there
Will I have to wear comfy footwear
Can I claim the time I've invested
Will I get arrested
Can you tell me who else will be there
Will I have to wear comfy footwear
Can I claim the time I've invested
Will I get arrested
There is talk of revolution in the quiet suburbs
