Look me in the eyes, As you put me in these chains, You have got no right, You ought to be ashamed. We don't need you mind pollution, Hysteria or mass confusion, If you keep up with this persecution, We will bring the revolution Shackle me inside, Lock me up forever but you'll never cage my mind. Take me to the hangman in the middle of the night, Watch me choke out my last breath, My spirit will never die. When all we want is peace, You send us off to war, All the while you sleep In your houses made of gold. We won't take this persecution We will bring the revolution. Shackle me inside, Lock me up forever but you'll never cage my mind. Take me to the hangman in the middle of the night, Watch me choke out my last breath, My spirit will never die. Shackle me inside, Lock me up forever but you'll never cage my mind. Take me to the hangman in the middle of the night, Watch me choke out my last breath, My spirit will never die.
