I didn't know what to think
I was left on my own
Get into line my son
So many days, never taught how to feel
You're just like everyone
Play to a coherent drum
Violence and screams, aggression in scenes
Money and thieves, being deceived
Told to protect the mirror
Never to look into or under
Despite the present
Despite the futur
Hopeless
Powerless
Stop this illusion
Fight them before dawn
'Till the gong
We sing along
We always seem to think our way through this life
Leaving behind our trust
Scared of feeling like we're not enough
Being so strong and holding onto the strife
Striving to be our best, told to destroy the rest
Despite the present
Despite the futur
Hopeless
Powerless
Stop this illusion
Fight them before dawn
'Till the gong
We sing along
