lyrics

As our freedom slowly slips away
It makes me wonder just what's gone wrong
The masses hide in fear and disarray
Endangered victims of a tired old song and
Those in power have long known how to
Control the masses by feeding them fear
Uncalibrated primitive emotion to
Makes us all believe the end is near

We're not slaves of fear under their control
We've got strength in numbers let's find a common goal
We're not slaves of fear under their control
We've got strength in numbers let's reclaim what they stole

Revolution NOW

With the fear of death comes fear of life
And your mind works in predictable ways
Life can be filled with endless strife
When quiet desperation is the American way but
We have more control than you may think
Embrace emotion but try to understand that
The world could end before you even blink
Don't let fear put you in your place (yeah)

Take back control of your life
