lyrics

I am the blinded
Suppress the mind of reason
Break the surface
Demand the right to freedom
We won't ever think
About the consequences
Strive for a better way
Aspire to the future

Never again will you hear the voice of reason that maintains equality
Social implications, stiff upper lip
Silence mass morality

Quartermasters set sail at half mast
Merchant of none
Tie the noose around your neck
The mass silence is deafening

See the masses scratch round the dirt
For intellectual property
The earth, wind and waves have no
Investor, interest, majority

We will never think about the consequences
Profess to make the difference
Strive to our common goal
But we will never act on these aspirations
A sea of empty faces
These thoughts, I won't let go

We have to reach their soul
We have to let them know

Never again will you hear the voice of reason that maintains the equality
Drown in this concrete ocean, keep your head up
Contests this horrid reign

No one percent to bend its will to or please the corporate war machine

I am the blinded
Suppress the mind of reason
Break the surface
Demand the right to freedom
We won't ever think
About the consequences
Strive for a better way
Aspire to the future
