Against The Grain
Revolt Against the Illusion: Unmasking Society's Chains
Lyrics
I see right through all these lies
I perceive the falsehood in these statements
Another man can't control my mind
Someone else cannot manipulate my thoughts
Divide, they're making us all blind so
Divisions are blinding us all
Die, executions in the streets
Face death, public executions happening
Blood soaking up corporate greed
Blood is absorbing the consequences of corporate greed
All hail the money machine
Praise the money-driven system
And pray like it's your god
Worship and plead as if it's your deity
This is not the new normal
Reject the notion that this is the new normal
You're all mentally deranged
Claiming others are mentally disturbed
Why are you so informal
Questioning the lack of formality
Society's got you trapped in a cage
Society confines you in a metaphorical cage
I can't take this anymore
Expressing inability to endure the current situation
It's like I'm losing my own way
Feels like losing one's own path
On and on and so it goes
Continuation of a repetitive cycle
The master milks the slave for wage
The one in control exploits the laborer for wages
We've been down this road before
History repeats, ending in violence
There's nothing new, it ends in blood
Nothing novel, concluding in bloodshed
Grab your shovels, grab your guns
Prepare for conflict, nowhere to escape
There's nowhere left for them to run
Fearful to take action
You're all afraid to intervene
Reluctance to interfere
Spreading bullets just ain't your scene
Shooting bullets isn't within your character
What lies behind your screen is just a grim illusion
Deception hides behind your digital presence
There is no true revolution
No genuine revolution exists
Taking heads is the solution
Suggesting violence as a solution
Media's mental pollution
Media contributing to mental pollution
And you're falling for it
Falling victim to media manipulation
This is not the new normal
Rejecting the acceptance of a new normal
You're all mentally deranged
Labeling others as mentally disturbed
Why are you so informal
Questioning the lack of formality
Society's got you trapped in a cage
Society confines you in a metaphorical cage
I can't take this anymore
Expressing inability to endure the current situation
It's like I'm losing my own way
Feels like losing one's own path
On and on and so it goes
Continuation of a repetitive cycle
The master milks the slave for wage
The one in control exploits the laborer for wages
We've been down this road before
History repeats, ending in violence
There's nothing new, it ends in blood
Nothing novel, concluding in bloodshed
Grab your shovels, grab your guns
Prepare for conflict, nowhere to escape
There's nowhere left for them to run
Fearful to take action
