In the heat of the night
A secret battle
Hidden in plain sight
They live amongst us
Wearing a disguise
But we will defy
Put the sunglasses on
And open up our eyes
In the darkness we will rise
Fight for what is right
No more illusions
We'll bring 'em into the light
They think we're the prey
But it doesn't matter what they sell
Doesn't matter what they say
We weren't born to obey
Hey, we weren't born to obey
Expose the truth
Spread the word
It's me and you
We'll rise against the odds
Unmask the secrets
Wake up from the dream
Together we'll fight
For a world redeemed
In the darkness we will rise (stay asleep)
Fight for what is right (watch tv)
No more illusions
We'll bring 'em into the light
They think we're the prey
But it doesn't matter what they sell
Doesn't matter what they say
We weren't born to obey
Hey, we weren't born to
In the darkness we will rise (buy)
Fight for what is right (watch tv)
No more illusions (consume)
We'll bring 'em into the light (stay asleep)
They think we're the prey
But it doesn't matter what they sell
Doesn't matter what they say
We weren't born to obey
Yeah, we weren't born to obey
