Wake up!

Lyrics

they say good fences
 make good neighbors
 for you my friend
 this might be true
 but you still gotta put
 the boards on the windows
 to the soul inside of you
 that t.v. in the corner
 that's their greatest tool
 they poison you mind
 when you're a child
 with their fear
 and their guilt
 and their rules
 they teach you that you're just a number
 as they program you in school
 so by the time you're out
 in their world on your own
 you've been trained not to bite
 the hand of the cruel
 wake up!
 Don't believe that the system is failing
 Don't believe that the planet is dead
 They'll keep all the food for their fat fucking bellies
 and the starving will kill or be fed
 and they'll try to turn me against you
 so divided, we'll turn to them
 because anything strong cannot be conquered from without
 before first being conquered from within.
 Don't let them get you down.
 Don't let them get you down.
 Don't let them get you down.
 Don't let them get you down.
 Don't let them get you down.
 Don't let them get you down.
 Life is a movie, we are all actors
 Don't let them edit you out.
 Life is a movie, we are all actors
 Don't let them edit you out.
 Don't let them get you down.
 Don't let them get you down.
 Don't let them get you down.
 Don't let them get you down.
