Falling downwards, withering away
Nothing seems to hold us back from taking life
Forever murdering and weeping
In vicious struggles of deceit
Locking ourselves away
Maintaining our own despair
Corrupted to the core
How did it come to this?
Your life has never been yours
Only a contract to fulfill
Keep the income flowing
Funding their policies to kill
Nothing can take them down unless we refuse the hand that feeds
This constructing grip around our throats
We cannot breathe
Now it's time to push them back
And set ourselves free
Can you build up the courage to deny a life of misery?
Hoarding everything until there's nothing left
Fearing, serving
Our minds closed 'til we're dead
Nothing can stand up to this predictable congregation
Obeying their every word
With no fear or thought to question
Primitive minds they reach out
For a higher understanding
But we fall back in line, failing to see
Then asking the same thing
Do you think they give a fuck?
Locking ourselves away
Maintaining our own despair
Corrupted to the core
How did it come to this?
Your life has never been yours
Only a contract to fulfill
Keep the income flowing
Funding their policies to kill
Nothing can take them down unless we refuse the hand that feeds
This constructing grip around our throats
We cannot breathe
Now it's time to push them back
And set ourselves free (and set ourselves free)
And set ourselves free
And set ourselves free
Nothing seems to hold us back from taking life
Forever murdering and weeping
In vicious struggles of deceit
Locking ourselves away
Maintaining our own despair
Corrupted to the core
How did it come to this?
Your life has never been yours
Only a contract to fulfill
Keep the income flowing
Funding their policies to kill
Nothing can take them down unless we refuse the hand that feeds
This constructing grip around our throats
We cannot breathe
Now it's time to push them back
And set ourselves free
Can you build up the courage to deny a life of misery?
Hoarding everything until there's nothing left
Fearing, serving
Our minds closed 'til we're dead
Nothing can stand up to this predictable congregation
Obeying their every word
With no fear or thought to question
Primitive minds they reach out
For a higher understanding
But we fall back in line, failing to see
Then asking the same thing
Do you think they give a fuck?
Locking ourselves away
Maintaining our own despair
Corrupted to the core
How did it come to this?
Your life has never been yours
Only a contract to fulfill
Keep the income flowing
Funding their policies to kill
Nothing can take them down unless we refuse the hand that feeds
This constructing grip around our throats
We cannot breathe
Now it's time to push them back
And set ourselves free (and set ourselves free)
And set ourselves free
And set ourselves free
