Dawning is now a predicted age
|
We're overpopulated rats in a cage
|
Slowly our freedom begins to erode
|
Governmental hypocrisy is bestowed
|
It is often said art imitates life
|
It seems now we're denied that right
|
Only confined to what they want us to see
|
They mold our minds to how they want us to be
|
Limited creations a fragment of the whole
|
Stifled expressions the truth untold
|
Freedom of religion, freedom of speech
|
So it is written, so practice what you preach
|
Contradicting our beginning they disregard the law
|
Exploiting all the violence as people watch in awe
|
Preference of eroticism
|
For individual taste
|
If you don't like what you see
|
Then get the hell out of their space
|
Declaring art obscenity they exclude you from their race
|
Slander you in the media they label you disgraced
|
Indifferences in all of us and intercrossing paths
|
Segregated by bigotry evolutions final wrath
|
[chorus]
|
Do you believe we're really free
|
If we can't reflect the world we see
|
Reality only black and white
|
Does freedom lie between wrong and right
|
Who decides what laws will change
|
Will liberty and justice still remain
|
If this is what the future shows
|
We'll all be slaves of mind control
|
Has America begun to weaken
|
Or revolution began to awaken
|
How can you blame us for being defiant
|
When our inner voice is silenced
|
[repeat chorus]
|
I don't know what this transposes in reverse
|
And if an evil word appears it's not intentional
|
Record our political leaders
|
And study their subliminal hates
|
Censor my words, censor their schemes
|
They drove me to suicide
|
(society shall sue them)
|
The media brainwashed me to love pursuit of things
|
And not to trust my inner voice so absurd they still defiled
|
Themselves and us by calling it the land of the
|
Free and the home of the brave
|
