I'm introduced to a plague of ignorance   Might be my own but I can't be too sure   Looking to rescued with no sign of deliverance   That can't exist, it can't exist      Hearts can grow so cold   In the heat of the moment   It freezes over like the devil's abode   Don't look so troubled   You're the salt of the earth now   We can't regress, we can't regress      Back to higher ground   Reaching up, we won't back down      Hope can dry up like the LA river   But droughts never last forever   A thirst for more is just human nature   We can't regress, no we can't regress      Socially conscious or self-consciously social   Show my true colors like a waving flag   Make up in strife for direction that I lack   We can't regress, we can't regress      Dancing on the grave   To the sound of savage victory   With the power we possess   We can't regress, we can't regress      Sing a song of freedom   Pay homage to the fathers   That paved the way for sonic liberty   A note that rings so true in all of us   We can't regress, we can't regress
