Turn Away Face it - Broken on the wheel,
We are only as strong as the weakest link in this chain
and I've been drained for so long by your complacency
Wht do I need to do to make you understand that when we sit
day by day we just play right into their hands?
Guilty of silence in a culture of violence
acknowledging lies by closing our eyes
slaves to a system which makes us feel we don't belong
How can you tell me I'm wrong?
or is that just what I'm expected to feel?
Victims in the game, yet the blame falls on us
for not using our voice when I know we have a choice.
You'll never tell me I'm wrong.
I won't turn away
Falling From Grace
I watch you fall with thoughts not of your mind and words not of your voice
it seems you act without your heart - did your words mean anything?
They meant so much to me... so much... so much to me.
I listened and believed - in you
Left to question your motivations I deal with the frustrations you've left behind I won't ever allow another mind to redefine what I feel in my heart
It's been so long since I've been able to look you in the eye
I've just forgotton
I watch you fall and I think to myself, why can't you control you?
It takes committment to think for yourself
but through it all I will respect your right to change
as long as you respect yourself.
Quest
I will not follow you, I will not believe
I will not bow down to a flag which represents what I most despise
I won't back down - this is my life
I won't stand still - these words are my right
Inspired by our greed, we disregard humanity
Through endless attempts to manipulate, we justify our needs
By placing the dollar above everything else,
we have compromised all life,
by allowing a corporate infrastructure to define fashion,
entertainment, and diet we have compromised our minds
strip the mask of truth from the lie
strip the mask of truth from the lie
strip away the mask
500 Years
I refuse to swallow the lie passed down for 500 years
of the brutal savage who must be contained abused and always feared
while history would have us think that the conflict has been resolved
what I've seen with my own eyes tells me there's more involved than we hear
and all across the nation we would just as soon turn the other way than face
the crimes we commit and the people we've betrayed
and I fear that a people who have struggled just to survive will lose a war
that's supposedly over which has continued through 1995
America it's been 500 years
you've got blood on your hands
you're guilty
in the land of the free, home of the brave
the land of hypocrisy, home of the slave
you're guilty.
Splinter
You do not own mybody
you'll never own my soul
I am not just another commodity
to fall under your control
I won't do what you tell me to do
I am going to break
I won't say what you tell me to say
I'm breaking free
I won't think what you want me to think
I'm going to break
I won't live how you want me to live
I'm breaking free
I can't believe most of what I see
I can't believe most of what I hear
I can't believe most of what I read
And you ask me what there is to fear?
Look beyond the surface...
That is when I find that they might take
my strength for granted
But they will never - never take my mind.
