Lyrics
[Intro]
It took me awhile to recognize that, sometimes I might get lost in the mix and forget what's really important in life...
[Verse]
I'm looking around at the world, and seeing the end of the times
And I don't know what to believe, the media's spinning their lies
These pigs are murdering kids, burning their bridges, ruining lives, robbing us blind
Making us fight every day to survive, making it harder to swallow our pride
So they prescribe these meds to swallow instead, tell us it's all in our head
Then get a call that we're dead, boy hung himself from his neck, out in his shed
And no one knew that he'd be next go, yo
He never thought of suicide until he started taking Lexapro, WHOA
It's really a shame the pain we feel in our brains from things we couldn't control
Who's really to blame? We play the game that makes us slaves to do what we're told
It's insanity, doing nothing, standing idly by
To watch them perpetrate these crimes against humanity (Fuck 'em)
I'll be damned if I just sit back and watch my generation get bitch slapped
Debbie Cakes and Big Macs
They kill us slow with GMO's and carcinogens
Cancer causing chemicals, homie are you listening?
'Cause frankly I been tired of talking since the third bar
But I bet I'd have your attention if I put this song on Worldstar
See the trick is that they keep us terrified by televising terrorism
So these pricks can terrorize with permission, it's America...
[Chorus]
They say it's gonna be all right, but...
I been up all night...
Thinking about all the things I've seen, and please believe that's why I've...
Always spoken my mind
Gazing at the night sky
Trying to find a way to be as free as we all need to be to find peace...
[Verse]
I've fallen down
Gotten killed while still on the ground
I've gotten up just to fall again
This time I lost a lot of friends, lost some years to my sins
I lost an edge and had to do it all again
I even wanted to call it quits, I was all convinced
Who am I? Do or die? Suicide? I thought of it
But then the day came, visions of fame in the hall of it
Standing on top of the world, I had (all of it)
But as a sane man, I'm thinking, okay man, honestly
Would I trade my honor for more property?
Sacrifice my modesty, murder my morality?
Turn my personality, upside down for more salary? (Nope!)
Burn more calories pal, and less brain cells
State jails love when you break and can't make bail
Thousand dollar fines and jail time for an eighth, well
We all ain't judged on the same scale
Going through different forms of the same hell, blinded by the same veil
Obstruct us just enough that our faith fails
But maybe one day, our lives will make for a great tale
And mine is of the knight in broken armor, bloodstains on my chainmail...
[Chorus 2x]
