You get so set on such a narrow line and do what your teachers say But they've gone away And all they've left you with is one big lie Intended to keep us sane Until we wake So don't go chasing shots of whiskey every day With all you wanted and loved strangled into gray Do you fight what's real? Do you want so much to feel... But you can't? You bear such weight...the so-called healthy life You do what the doctors say One dose each day When too much pain flows from a so-called life Well maybe its time to change A choice to make You can't go bigger, stronger, faster every day With all you wanted and loved strangled into gray Do you fight what's real? Do you want so much to feel... But you can't? And on and on and on You do what the teachers say You're strangled into gray And on and on and on You do what the doctors say You're strangled into gray Come on! You do what the teachers who don't wanna teach us And do what the doctors who don't wanna treat us And do what the preachers say

Thunder 03:26
Nothing changes lives of lies When culture's made of plastic Instead of precious lives Do we even wonder Why we feel like this? Come on, we see it on the adverts, baby And just go buy it Do you hear the thunder? It's loud and clear Will these cold walls of fear Still keep us warm in here? Nothing changes And this cold spine Is the property of strangers Who wouldn't give a dime Do we even wonder How they stole our wit? For some cheap corporate media entertainment We just gave it Do you hear the thunder? It's loud and clear Will these cold walls of fear Still keep us warm in here? I hear a storm out there So let's just live in fear
