lyrics

Reluctant to fit, don't want to stand in line, don't want to be a number or hassled all the time.
You said it was easy just keep my down, but I'd rather live my life than just stare at the ground.

There's only one way up and I'm scared, so take your hand off of my mouth and be prepared.
Shut up, sit down, and fucking listen.
I'm breaking away from these chains this fucking prison.

And then I open my eyes.
No longer at your command.
Rebuild a new life.
Just listen.

I find it outrageous that people don't care, that the people don't care.
That the system will follow is corrupt and unfair.
You don't have to spend your whole life doing what your told, you just raise your middle finger and take of the blind fold.

There's only one way up and I'm scared, so take your hand off of my mouth and be prepared.
Shut up, sit down, and fucking listen.
I'm breaking away from these chains this fucking prison.

And then I open my eyes.
No longer at your command.
Rebuild a new life.
Just listen.
