Flobots – Fight With Tools Lyrics 17 years ago
gather up your platinum
melt it down
gather up your gold
melt it down
gather up your silver
your bronze
your aluminum
melt it down
melt it down
melt it down

This symbolizes how the flobots would like to see society equalized, from the very rich (platinum and gold) to the very poor (bronze and aluminum) to get a prominent middle class (silver).

we call upon women
we call upon children
we call upon the handicapped
the infirmed
the weak of heart
we need your courage
your dedication
your passion
your conviction

This symbolizes how the flobots want the socially weak to stand up for themselves in order to create a more perfect and equal society. In essence, they are pleading for the weak to help themselves because society is to engrossed with the rich and powerful, the men, and perfection to help them.

we need heroes
build them
don't put your fist up
fill them
Fight with our hopes and our hearts and our hands
we're the architects of our last stand

This is the flobots telling young society to stand up for what is right and just, but not in any acts of violence, similar to that of the teachings of Gandhi. They are saying that it is today's youth that have to deal with tomorrows inevitable and grievous problems, and that they have to step up to the plate.
