The multitudes scream in my face
What I want is impossible
As they regurgitate
What their masters mouthpieces told them
But I see no other way
No I see no other way
The path we are on leads to oblivion
It's a path from which which we must stray

Deep down we know we could be more
But we're wired to want nothing
Except what this system will bring forth
Broken legs and then crutches to walk
If ungrateful they'll cut out our tongues
If ungrateful they'll cut out our tongues
We're forced into a mold that amputates our souls
Kept docile until thrown to the crows

Spewing what's considered vile rhetoric
Until it leaks through every crevice
In these prison walls
Reject the medication they force down our throats
Kicking at the cracks until they turn into holes
If we don't fight things will only get worse
Are these crumbs all that we want from our time on this earth?

Believe opinions issued are our own
Repeat them with conviction
We'll kiss monarchs feet, bow to the throne
But still believe we're defiant
Truly believe that we are free
Truly believe that we are free
But we never even thought of tugging on these chains
Of coercive brutality

If you speak out they'll make you pay
But some still speak out anyway
Just submitting would be a big mistake
Silently digging our own graves
We're burying ourselves alive
We're burying ourselves alive
Well let's use these spades to knock out the guards
We'll make our escape and thrive
