We are told from the time we are born
To trust in authority
To believe in them like they hold
Our lives in their hands
We were to respect and abide by
The laws they presented
We were to follow the leader
Fall in line
Never question never fear
But as we grew up
I began to realize
All the white lies
We couldn't see with our eyes
They were flowing through one ear
Right out the other
No hope to break the chains left around us
Because it's better to just
Blend
Bend
Break
With the crowd
Never have doubt
Just keep quiet don't make a sound
We cannot be free
Unless we fight
We cannot be free
Unless we change them
We have to be free
To be happy
To be safe
To have a world free of corruption
But no
It'll never happen
Because all we ever hear is
"Repeat after me, we are free"
