Hear the preachers from the pulpits of power Spin the lies they sell that give the youth our rage In a society built on distraction Holy material, excess strength and the bars on our cage Instigate, awake, overcome mistakes Are we gonna break? Steal back the truths they take Pretty chains of hate, what the system makes At war from once without and now within We're all trying to reach beyond The plastic truths of our nature Soiled by miscircumstance Soiled by miscarriage of justice Beyond the truths of a television lie The rot and myopia of this self-consuming utopia Youth enrage, instigate, awake, overcome mistakes Are we gonna break? Steal back the truths they take Pretty chains of hate, what the system makes At war from once without and now within Breaking the tide over our shoulders and out into The children of a justice-starved to win above The mockeries of patriotism Flags flying under the billboards are the blind spots in our eyes The comfort of the boss' hands Around our hearts, around these lands The morals of paper Where it stood and where we'll stand tonight Where we'll stand Where we'll stand tonight Our world to win Where we'll stand and where we'll stand tonight Now we're all working in our hearts in our dreams to change Our state tears our seams And choose our new destinies much more than this What we could hold in our hands
