Is it us or them?

See the light they lit for us all

Just to show how perfect we are

'Cause we are slaves of these modern times

Where we all demand to be stars

They're feeding us to the hounds

Time goes fast and life moves away

There's no time to turn it around

And everyone who's born in our time

Is programmed to take up their part

They're keeping us underground

You wanna be someone with self-respect

For the "likes" you chase: they don't mean anything

You wanna feel something that is sincere

And the words you'll say will be the spear

That strikes the lies they're telling us are the rules

Play your role in this modern farce

Feed your thirst for stardom and pride

But be aware the truth won't erase

And you are the seeds that you plant

In shallowness we all drown

Are you here? Are you real?

Do you reflect on the water?

And you pretend that you matter

Setting a price on your thoughts

Is it life: to conceal genuine value of others?

Selling your heart for a dollar?

Wearing your greed as a crown?

You wanna be someone with self-respect

For the "likes" you chase: they don't mean anything

You wanna feel something that is sincere

And the words you'll say will be the spear

That strikes the lies they're telling us are the rules

For the "likes" you chase: they don't mean anything

You wanna feel something that is sincere

And the words you'll say will be the spear

That strikes the lies they're telling us are rules
