[Verse 1: Brian Fair]

Staring forward with vacant eyes

Imagination cannot survive

Misinformation and compromise

These televised conditioned lies

[Pre-Chorus: Brian Fair]

Create a system of belief

Heartless purveyors of deceit

[Chorus: Brian Fair]

Seems clear to me you've never known me

Doubt everything you've ever shown me

[Verse 2: Brian Fair]

Images flash by in waves

What to buy and what you'll save

All the products that you never craved

You've become another slave

[Pre-Chorus: Brian Fair]

Create a system of belief

Heartless purveyors of deceit

[Chorus: Brian Fair]

Seems clear to me you've never known me

Doubt everything you've ever shown me

[Post-Chorus: Brian Fair, Jon Donais]

All the lies that you told

I will not be bought or sold

I won't fit into your mold

I will not be bought or sold

[Bridge: Brian Fair with Jon Donais]

Rise! And break away from the system

Rise! And crush the voices in your head

Rise!

[Guitar Solo]

[Post-Chorus: Brian Fair, Jon Donais]

All the lies that you told

I will not be bought or sold

I won't fit into your mold

I will not be bought or sold

[Outro: Brian Fair]

I want back what you stole from me!
