Everybody's talkin' They ain't sayin' nothing Living in a whisper When they wanted to scream Free to be a very special carbon copy Just another gear to grind Inside the machine
It's not enough to stand up -- rise and shine It's not enough to care -- rise and shine It's time for us to wake up -- rise and shine There's no more time for fear -- rising
It's part of the process So stick to the script Free to pick your colors But just stay in the lines Don't bother changing channels 'Cuz it's all the same shit Life and liberty homogenized And refined
Take it all for granted While you're paying for it By selling out the person That you wanted to be Honor is a dead word To the blindly loyal There's no more fight for freedom We gave it away for free
