Don't believe what they tell you
Don't believe what they say
Don't believe everything will be okay
Don't believe what they show you
Don't you buy their disguise
Don't believe all their greedy corporate lies
They will try to control you
Take the vote from your hands
They will leave you to die in distant lands
They may think that they own you
But you won't hear them say
They'll only pay you enough that you'll obey
You've got to look them straight in the eye
When you say you won't comply
Wake up and realize
The power's yours and mine
And look away when they advertise
'Cause there's more to life that what money can buy
Wake up
The choice is ours in these troubling times
Don't you buy what they sell you
Things won't make you happy
All you need are your friends and family
Don't you let them distract you
With their color TV
Hold on tight to your creativity
They will make up a reason
For us all to divide
But the truth is we're all the same inside
So don't believe what they tell you
Don't even listen to me
Go on think for yourself and you'll be free
You've got to look them straight in the eye
When you say you won't comply
Wake up and realize
The power's yours and mine
And look away when they hypnotize
'Cause there's more to life that what money can buy
Wake up
The choice is ours in these troubling times
