A lie is a falsehood Everybody knows it We've come to a crossroads 'Cause I realise that Things aren't what they seem And I see a pattern Of people and their dreams Regularly shattered We trust in our nation That's where we are living To allow our elevation Do more than surviving No-one asks the question When we need the answer Are we in the right direction We don't think it matters
We wonder why we're in the situation that we're in The real truth is we're not paying attention
(chorus) We're freely marching on to exploitation We're blindly moving toward extermination Because every lie we hear has a justification And the truth we deny is public relations
You think you have freedom That's what they all say But your mind doesn't function Over medicated Because of depression Too much information And you have no direction Just don't pay attention There's so much pollution Some kinda radiation Which leads to destruction Everything is wasting But political action Everybody rising Is deemed a distraction Well well well well
We wonder what is happening, and how we got into this situation We're not paying attention
(chorus)
You say we need discussion About all our problems Then we need protection From those who cause them We should be talking preservation For our children Which leads to evolution Higher higher! There can't be hesitation If we want the real truth And no more reservations And you know that means you What we need as a nation People come together Is a spirit of revolution Around the world
We don't have to believe the words that they spin If we just keep paying attention
