For too long Ive tried To compromise my integrity For someone elses dreams I closed my eyes my mind And let them lead me into submission Now I feel the lesser of two evils With my head bowed down Tail between my legs And Im afraid this is not me Inspiration it flies high When Im looking up Away from the american lie Expectations fill my head with dreams Ive never dreamt I pledge defiance to a society Forged from anger, hate and greed Hoping that someday my fight will catch on you Now my pockets full of lint And my heads full of expectations Im still trying to build a guiltless fortress Im gonna take back whats mine My heart, my body, my soul, my mind You can never restrain self righteous contradictions Take back whats mine My heart, my body, my soul, my mind
