Scapegoat - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Righteous silence and I'm defiant

I'm a scapegoat, I don't deny it

I talk the talk, I walk the walk

These shackles on my arms, I can't break the lock

All I hear are the words you're saying

I'm the pawn in the game you're playing

I fight the system, fight tradition, but to no avail

I live in my mind, rotting in this hell

When you talk, do you listen?

When you talk, do you hear?

When you talk, do you turn away?

When you talk, when you talk

Something in the air tells me, "Don't trust 'em first"

They're biding their time, "I'm gonna fuck 'em first"

Rеinforce the walls, my defеnses

Ask all the questions, relentless

The mainstream, the lame stream

What they say isn't what they really mean

They'll do anything just to get ahead

They'll say anything just to get ahead

When you talk, do you listen?

When you talk, do you hear?

When you talk, do you turn away?

When you talk, when you talk

Walking that road ain't for you, motherfucker

No more chances

Beams of love, peace, and freedom

It's too bad none of us believe in them

We're living in a lifestyle full of hate

But it's a lifestyle that we choose to create

We could make it better, but we make it worse

Why help your brother, why play the jerk

Two fisted till the very end

My words, my words are all I can say

When you talk, do you listen?

When you talk, do you hear?

When you talk, do you turn away?

When you talk, when you talk
