I walked for miles So I could be I climbed a mountain Just so I could see I searched for courage I searched for proof Looked for a leader Who’d stand and speak the truth But there was none And we still think we’re so free I lit a fire To watch it burn Went on vacation Never to return It’s not the way I wanted it to be But I was afraid For my own privacy ‘Cause there was none And we still think we’re so free When do you think we’ll wake up When do you think we’ll wake up When do you think we’ll wake up When do you think we’ll wake up I want a car A steady job An endless line Of people I can rob Ain’t that the way That it’s supposed to be There’s less for them That means so much more for me ‘Til there was none And we still think we’re so free When do you think we’ll wake up When do you think we’ll wake up When do you think we’ll wake up When do you think we’ll wake up

They hear everything you said The days of privacy are dead You've been lead to believe in this fantasy In a country where freedom's been sold Five eyes Looking down From Waihopai they can spy on you and me From ECHELON the world's spied on indefinitely Mars is rising again Feel free to contact your dictator Its just men taking their opportunities Don't complain when your future is gone Five eyes Looking down From Waihopai they can spy on you and me From ECHELON the world's spied on indefinitely From Waihopai they can spy on you and me From ECHELON they world's spied on indefinitely The days of principles are dead They smile at your face but fuck you later We all want to believe in this fantasy But out freedom is already sold Five eyes Looking down From Waihopai they can spy on you and me From ECHELON the world's spied on indefinitely Waihopai, they can spy on you and me From ECHELON they world's spied on indefinitely

Corporate security Imperial desires Protecting businessmen And their trophy brides It’s the year of distraction It’s a soul-free zone It’s the end to all action And no one wants to know Whatever the truth they’ve taken it We’re letting them get away with it Have we had enough? The Big Lie We’re reading articles Where murder’s sanitized Signed off by men in suits Who you won’t recognize It’s a fucking disaster It’s a state of fear It’s an uncertain future Get me out of here State sanctioned executioners Hungry for the kill Borderline psychopaths Who’ll do it for the thrill

I am a reflection I’m what you want to hear And we don’t need a conscience So we’re perfectly clear And there’s no room for light There’s only black or white No grey area Driven by our profits And drunk on success The future generation Will inherit the mess And we belong to the night We talk in black or white No grey area The lines fade into grey The knives are out and it’s anybody’s game Once the lion’s out of its cage You will never keep it down Driven to distraction Discourage dissent The leader is a traitor He don’t need our consent And we know it’s not right There’s more than black and white The grey area

The living dead have started speaking And I can’t change their minds So I won’t waste my time Won’t surrender But whatever mask they wear on the outside There’s a chill set in their spine Once the battle begun Make them think that they won See the non-thinking drones The vampires sink their teeth in deep But in the end they’ll have to sleep alone Seeing red An automatic reflex void of opinion And it won’t make a difference The living dead When everyone’s distracted Nothing in their minds We’re just wasting our time And in your head the anger speaks It’s like a cancer In your heart the soul will weep For what you had

Song for no one Your day is here The time has come Don’t be afraid You can’t get away We walk the same way We all end up in the same place Now that I know We reap what we sow Forever and ever Without end Keeps starting Over and over and over again Weigh my heart The fire burns and then we are Lead into gold Then we already know

We’ve forgotten how to dream Used to think we’d make the world a little better But there were promises to keep And we sat and watched as things just fell apart Thought we’d already won So we turned the other way Now who’s holding the gun We walk along and draw a line To holler at the other side We’ll show the world who’s king Before the young can use their minds We send them off for suicide With something good to sing Now These words are for the weak For the hungry ones compassion and protection For those that no one sees The broken people, man without a voice Space between the have and have-nots Faceless men have taken the lot

Get together quick as you can Shaking off the blood on your hands Gold and oil and gasoline We need to fuel this new machine We will do whatever it takes As long as you can stay in your place Valium and Ritalin To make a model citizen Time to write yourself a reward We don’t even know what it’s for The bankers all got rich again Our value is diminishing A chance to be the better man But no one is surrendering Talk until your face turns blue You promise me, I promise you Talk until your face turns blue You promise me, I promise you We want an answer We want an answer We want an end To this terminal cancer

Feed the lions in their cages This is now democracy Got to keep them isolated It’s all part of Huxley’s dream Message from the mighty palace Settled on the dirty streets Got you fighting with your neighbour Not the real enemy The money casts a spell and puts them in a trance They’d trade in everyone if given half a chance I kind of die Fed a diet of resentment Fear and animosity And you have to be content with Watching someone else’s dream And everyone is on their own now Living in a virtual world Wasted in the West

We all follow Love’s long shadow What will I do now? How can I live without? I’ll never love again Until I reach the end We’ll be together Together again She holds his hand Says “You’re my best friend” But when she can’t pretend She starts to grow again The dead are alive in us Here in our Universe And we’ll be together Together again

All our lovely children don’t matter any longer He who owns the drilling owns the national paper Pays off those elected meant to do our bidding Place another order sitting in the sunshine When somebody stands up sees the contradiction Buy up all the papers put them out of business Now they feed the masses trivia and fear When somebody stands up and offers a solution Cheap Cheap as Fuck Influence Beyond law Behind doors They do whatever they want Bend to multinationals corporate agendas Do a deal with China go out on a bender Block out all your baggage make it disappear Wake up with a headache suffering from the fear Join a private army make yourself a killing Endless propaganda feed it to the masses Keep them on a diet trivia and fear Sell off all your assets it all ends in tears It’s all kicking off

Hardship is cause for rejoicing Take all opportunities We're transcending resignation If you're skint you're in good company And now England's underwater And they're dumping on Great Barrier Reef I will focus my intentions And rise above this blasphemy I am flying Ducking and diving I am thriving Ducking and diving So celebrate the reason why That we've survived 'til now If it doesn't kill you makes you stronger Take all opportunities Ditch the whiners and the losers On the path I'm meant to be I am flying Ducking and diving I am thriving Ducking and diving Let me remind you I'm a free man I'm my own worst enemy Meaner, leaner, sharper, cleaner Fearless march to liberty

You woke up with a new face It was still you inside Hanging out with the reptiles And the people who hide You need someone to torture To make you feel all right You need someone beneath you Just like a parasite Fuck you (cunt) Fuck you Dark secret At other's misfortune Only time that you'd smile Fucking everyone over That was part of your style But I know your secret The one that you hate the most It's your face in the mirror You look like a ghost Fuck you (cunt)

I will close my eyes and fall back Under this mighty attack I'll feel the unknown And though I may get knocked to the ground I shine my best when I'm down You can watch me glow Then once everything's moving faster When it's all that I'm after Know it's all right It's all right here Flying on the rush of endorphins That are crushing the doubts From every new idea If this is the last thing that I write Then I am making it count I will make it clear Rise above the layer of doubt This life just keeps rolling out I will not fear It's all right here

It comes when all is silent Hidden in memories It comes when least expected Despair and ecstasy One thing your loss has shown me Each day is precious now Although I miss you dearly I learn to live without So gather up your loved ones And keep them close to you Then sing in celebration The fact you made it through I don't want to waste a day Living doubt If there is something you should say Spit it out Put away that constant fear Take a chance Be the best of all your years The funeral dance It comes when least expected Despair and ecstasy It comes when all is silent Hidden in memories So live your life with passion Do what you want to do And make sure you burn brightly Before your time is through
