| You were the ones who wouldn’t compromise
|
| You were the ones who took us all by surprise
|
| We’re the ones with honor
|
| I can’t take this pressure
|
| Signal the sirens, sound the alarms
|
| Do as you’re told they say, «You won’t be harmed.»
|
| Another day, another dollar 'til you become a slave
|
| Cause they sit back and smile while you’re digging your own grave
|
| A simple handshake, it’s all part of the plan
|
| I don’t remember shaking anybody’s hand
|
| This is a feeling that I just can’t shake
|
| My peace of mind was never yours to take
|
| You always said you had the best intentions
|
| That doesn’t mean a thing to me now
|
| You’ve got nowhere to turn
|
| A lesson lived is a lesson you’ll never learn
|
| The silence breaks, the questions rise
|
| Nothing but false hope hidden in disguise
|
| None of this makes sense to me
|
| It’s not hard to see what you’re about
|
| It won’t be long until the secrets all come out
|
| Because the truth will always find you (you cannot run from me)
|
| But the truth won’t set you free, it won’t change the minds of your enemies
|
| You took the life right out of me
|
| You think you’ve got me shut down
|
| You tried to ruin my name
|
| You think you’ve got this figured out
|
| But I’m not the one to blame
|
| You think you’ve got me shut down
|
| But I’m still standing strong
|
| You think you’ve got this figured out
|
| But it was me you needed all along |
