HERE WE GO AGAIN AND WE'RE STILL CHOOSING FILTHY RICH LIARS OVER FOOD BANKS, SWEATSHOPS AND TOWER BLOCK FIRES ZERO HOUR CONTRACTS, BILLIONAIRES PAY NO TAX THE HOMELESS, IMMIGRANTS AND POOR GET ATTACKED 'COS THE ONE PERCENT NEED DIVIDE AND RULE NOT UNIONS, HOMES, HOSPITALS AND SCHOOLS THE MEDIA SPREAD FEAR LIKE A DISEASE WHILE THE POLICE STATE CREEPS LIKE THE RISING SEAS WHAT'S IT GONNA TAKE? WAKE UP, WAKE UP WE GET WHAT WE DESERVE SOMETIMES I THINK THAT THERE'S NO USE SOMETIMES I THINK THAT WE JUST CRAVE ABUSE WHEN WE'RE SCREWED MORE BY BANKS THAN TERRORISM BUT STILL THE ROBOTS DANCE TO THE ALGORHYTHMS BUT DON'T WE WANT MORE FROM THIS LIFE THAN JUST TO WORK, SHOP, DRINK AND DIE? SOMETIMES I THINK WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET 'COS DO WE EVER LEARN? NO, WE FORGET WAKE UP, WAKE UP WE GET WHAT WE DESERVE WAKE UP, WAKE UP WE GET WHAT WE DESERVE WAKE UP, WAKE UP WE GET WHAT WE DESERVE WAKE UP, WAKE UP WE GET WHAT WE DESERVE WAKE UP FROM THE FEAR, WAKE UP FROM THE LIES THE NIGHTMARE WILL BE OVER THE SECOND YOU OPEN YOUR EYES

BY THE GRACE OF HUNGRY ROADS AND SEAS THERE'S A SECOND CHANCE I LIVE TO SEE MY HOME, MY FAMILY, ALL MY FUTURES AND MY HISTORY BURIED IN DUST AND BULLET SHELLS AND I'M LEAVING IT ALL BEHIND I'M LEAVING IT ALL BEHIND I'M LEAVING IT ALL BEHIND AND I PRAY THAT I CAN FIND A REFUGE NOW I'M A PRISONER ON FOREIGN STREETS HANDS TIED TO A SYSTEM I CAN'T LEAVE PARADED AS THE ENEMY, TO BE HATED BY SOCIETY SO FAR AWAY, SO MUCH THE SAME I THOUGHT I WAS LEAVING IT ALL BEHIND LEAVING IT ALL BEHIND IF YOU ONLY KNEW MY STORY IF YOU ONLY KNEW MY NAME I DIDN'T COME WITH NEEDS BEFORE ME I CAME TO START AGAIN I'M NOT A REFUGEE I'M YOU, IF YOU WERE ME I'M LEAVING IT ALL BEHIND I'M LEAVING IT ALL BEHIND I'M LEAVING IT ALL BEHIND

Here come the thought police again Vigilantes of the screen To keep you safe from fact or doubt So only pain and rage remain So come on and join the noise It's what they're talking 'bout It's what they're talking about It's what they're talking 'bout They're all talking about It's where the parasites feed Stoke their fires and build their walls At the carnival where reason burned We couldn't smell the gas at all We were busy joining the noise It's what they're talking 'bout It's what they're talking about It's what they're talking 'bout They're all talking about Here come the thought police again It's what they're talking 'bout It's what they're talking about Vigilantes of the screen It's what they're talking 'bout They're all talking about To keep you safe from fact or doubt It's what they're talking 'bout It's what they're talking about So only pain and rage remain It's what they're talking 'bout They're all talking about

Ecstasy It ain't my destiny To chase you up that hill Don't tell me I am ill Society Don't lie to me That plastic yellow smile Is the face of our denial We don't need to try We don't need to hide I wanna feel down I want the fear I wanna be sorry And I want the tears I wanna know real love Not the ideal And I'll risk the losses Just let me feel Something Real Real Did I fail the test To want the best From the market of nirvana's Like all the rest Lesson It's our obsession With happiness That's feeding our depression When there's so much more We got to live for I wanna feel rage I want the dirt And I want the truth Even if it hurts I wanna feel the pain That makes me strong And I wanna fight for what's right Even if I'm wrong I don't want your fix Because your bliss don't exist I wanna feel high I wanna feel low I want the struggle I wanna lose control I wanna feel it in my heart Feel it in my bones It's electric plugged in to my soul Something Real Something Real
