Tonight We're Not For Sale

Their eyes are kept on us
Like vultures waiting
For the next prey
Independence is at stake

And no one turned the tide
And no one changed their minds
We gave up our stance
We gave up the fight
Suburban denial, breaking the mold
Killing capitalism from the inside out is still a joke

Tonight we sacrifice what we have lost
Tonight we praise ourselves
Take a stand, deny
We'll find some sort of truth at any cost
If self-delusion works

All your fame will be gone
All your green won't last long
You have lost our trust like the others
Liars and cheaters, we won't reach out
Your foundation's cracking
You've built a lie on... on our own ashes

Tonight we sacrifice what we have lost
Tonight we praise ourselves
Take a stand, deny
We'll find some sort of truth at any cost
If self-delusion works

We claim to be for real
Pretending a strong voice
Defying our tears
Repeating the wrong choice

We sing a stolen song
We chant a dusty slogan
Forget about our origins
Neglect where we came from
Most of the precious goods ain't monetary
Creative minds are not for sale
Our words must turn into a weapon
Art ain't no product just like everything else
