lyrics

LYRICS:

Don't overthink the question, you may end up expanding your knowledge
A thirst for power in a drought of control may spark the revolution nobody saw coming
I saw the end approaching when the innocence of man started showing
Don't put your guns up yet, for the concept we've created we'll soon forget when...

They raid our heads with lobotomy and there's nothing we can do
We better give in
Throw the books into the fires, 'cause flames are less dangerous than our opinions

Last night I thought I had a vision of people thinking for themselves with no persecution
Paranoia has struck me sick and I won't take the drugs that are in my prescription
So I cried, and I cried, and I cried some more after thinking to myself
"What am I living for?"
I stuck my head in the bathroom sink after screaming to the world
"This means war!"

I saw the people writing in books when the officers broke the windows in
I never saw their faces again, and when I asked where they went, they took me in
