How did we get in so much trouble? Getting out just seems impossible Oppression is persisting I can’t fight this brain conditioning Our freedom’s just a loan Run by machines and drones They’ve got us locked into their sights Soon they’ll control what’s left inside Don’t try to hide it, don’t tell me it’s not there You’ve got strength You’ve got soul You’ve felt pain You’ve felt love You can grow (you can grow) You can grow (you can grow) You can make this world what you want You can revolt You can revolt You can revolt Can you hear a distant thunder Taste earth’s blood and hunger We live in a toxic jungle Truth is suppressed to mumbles They’ll take away our homes They’re just machines and drones Don’t try to fight it, don’t tell me you can’t see That you’ve got strength You’ve got soul You’ve felt pain You’ve felt love You can grow (you can grow) You can grow (you can grow) You can make this world what you want You can revolt You can revolt You can revolt I can fell your pain I can feel your confusion I can see you’re trapped in a maze Let’s find a way to escape You’ve got strength You’ve got soul You’re not afraid You’re not a drone You can grow (you can grow) You can grow (you can grow) You can make this world what you want You can revolt You can revolt You can revolt
