1.
We've got blurry visions of a fiction in riches Simple symptoms of this sickness and we're playing the victim Hoisting headstones above high hopes Waving white flag forfeits, cutting losses to the bone Ears to the ground, slaves to the grave Loosing gravel over paths already paved Peasants forever, complete control Searching for sustenance and we'll reap what we sow
2.
We make our own graves Digging through the dirt sifting soil under earth We pave our own ways Crawling on the concrete, heaving 'til it hurts We face our own pain And we do it with closed eyes, open mouths, and white lies The devil in the detail's feeding us lines We're too quick to take a tip from the sick The improvised prescription's not a permanent fix We just reach and grab, grab and reach To sterilize our senses in the solace we seek We just reach and grab, grab and reach Receding from reality with trembling teeth We concede Trapped like rats, fast Stuck to a glue trap The poison we're pursuing is what's keeping us back Like rats, fast Stuck to a glue trap The poison we're pursuing is what's keeping us Trapped like rats

Check into the screen You know who it is Picture, name, identity, Here's looking at you, kid It's 1984 again Leaving our own tracks Tracking our own lists Silhouette or smiling face Self-made proof you exist It's 1984 again Nowhere to hide We give up our lives Nowhere to hide We are him Big Brother's twin We let him in
4.
Cornered on the curb Standing on the street A hundred unarmed kids Two hundred armed police Zip-tied hands Harsh demands Smoke grenades And barricades Loaded in a van Locked into the seat A hundred unarmed kids Who refused to retreat Zip-tied hands Harsh demands Smoke grenades And barricades Don't speak your mind Just shut it up
