You Were Lied To

Verse 1:
When you were young, you were so vulnerable.
Then you grew up, and you were so gullible.
You believed in the things that you were told
You put your faith in ideas you can’t even prove
Bridge:
See Now The Truth
You Were Lied To
See Now The Truth
You Were Lied To
Chorus:
Open your eyes and see what’s real
Now is the time for you to feel
See now the truth
You were lied to
Verse 2:
Religion is a scam just to get your money
The government doesn’t want you to be free
Believe what you want however you should know
Ignorance and apathy are just as evil
Bridge:
See Now The Truth
You Were Lied To
See Now The Truth
You Were Lied To
Chorus:
Open your eyes and see what’s real
Now is the time for you to feel
See now the truth
You were lied to
Guitar Solo
Verse 3:
The history that you learned never happened
The education that you got was manufactured
Addictions and entertainment keep you blind
Overpopulation and pollution will end our time
Bridge:
See Now The Truth
You Were Lied To
See Now The Truth
You Were Lied To
Chorus:
Open your eyes and see what’s real
Now is the time for you to feel
See now the truth
You were lied to

Political Corruption
05:34

(Chorus)
It’s called political corruption, it’s not about production.
It’s all about destruction, of the society
It’s called political corruption, it’s causing a disruption
And, it’s bound for eruption, due to greed and money
It’s called political corruption
(Verse 1)
You got the politicians telling you what you want to hear
They’re out there on the trails and they’re spreading fear
They’re trying to draw a line between you and me, hey
It’s all an illusion, man, can’t you see, yeah
Getting your vote is what they’re trying to do
And then they get elected, and then it’s screw you
Cause all they really cared about is their companies
And now they’re sittin back laughing countin all their money
(Repeat Chorus)
It’s called political corruption, it’s not about production.
It’s all about destruction, of the society
It’s called political corruption, it’s causing a disruption
And, it’s bound for eruption, due to greed and money
It’s called political corruption
(Verse 2)
Well, the military budgets are out of control
Someone’s getting paid, man, don’t you know
They’re sellin guns and weapons, so they can get rich
And then they turn around and call them terrorists
The foreign governments are their biggest fans
They got your politicians in the palm of their hands
And then the president picks the judges, so they don’t take the fall
A judge who’s political is no judge at all
(Repeat Chorus)
It’s called political corruption, it’s not about production.
It’s all about destruction, of the society
It’s called political corruption, it’s causing a disruption
And, it’s bound for eruption, due to greed and money
It’s called political corruption
Play bassline that is for before verse, but at the end go from D to E to
(Guitar Solo)
(Verse 3)
Did you ever wonder why all the politicians are rich
We work so hard every day, it makes me sick
They say they’re gonna take care of you and me
They only look out for themselves, it’s all about greed
The people are the ones who voted them in
But the business bribe them, it’s called lobbyin
The laws that they pass don’t benefit us
Open up your eyes, they threw us under the bus
(Repeat Chorus)
It’s called political corruption, it’s not about production.
It’s all about destruction, of the society
It’s called political corruption, it’s causing a disruption
And, it’s bound for eruption, due to greed and money
It’s called political corruption

Verse 1:
I started out so innocent; Not knowing what I’d be
Thinking anything was possible; So many hopes and dreams
All my life I believed; That I would succeed
But now I’m the fool; All your lies and manipulations, they were your tools
Bridge:
Ooh, but I’m not free
Get your greedy hands off of me
There’s so many things I’ll never see
Oh, why can’t you just let me be
Chorus:
What’s wrong with me being free; Why do you gotta put these chains all around me
I work all goddamn day; I swear sometimes I think I’m a slave
And I’m so tired when I get home; It’s all I can do to rest my bones
And since you made me this way; I’m gonna have to work until I see my grave
I’m gonna have to work until I see my grave
Verse 2:
When I was young; The world took me in
There was so much to learn; Didn’t know what to believe
It’s not okay how things turned out; I can’t even understand how
It’s like you trapped me with your lies; All your money and things, they were the ties
Repeat Bridge:
Ooh, but I’m not free
Get your greedy hands off of me
There’s so many things I’ll never see
Oh, why can’t you just let me be
Repeat Chorus:
What’s wrong with me being free; Why do you gotta put these chains all around me
I work all goddamn day; I swear sometimes I think I’m a slave
And I’m so tired when I get home; It’s all I can do to rest my bones
And since you made me this way; I’m gonna have to work until I see my grave
I’m gonna have to work until I see my grave
Guitar Solo
Verse 3:
This stupid game that you made me play; It’s not a life worth living every day
It’s like my world is in a cave; And you’re only happy when I behave
But I just want to see the world and be with the people I love; Do what I want, enjoy life, create, and have some fun
Instead, I have to work to make you rich; And all I have to show for it is a bunch of shit
Repeat Bridge:
Ooh, but I’m not free
Get your greedy hands off of me
There’s so many things I’ll never see
Oh, why can’t you just let me be
Chorus:
What’s wrong with me being free; Why do you gotta put these chains all around me
I work all goddamn day; I swear sometimes I think I’m a slave
Oh, why can’t I just be free; That sounds okay to me
I got to work so much to just scrape by; I can’t even live my life
You know I’m so tired when I get home; It’s all I can do to rest my bones
But since you made me this way; I’m gonna have to work until I see my grave
I’m gonna have to work until I see my grave, I’m gonna have to work until I see my grave
I’m gonna have to work until I see my grave

We are the Resistance
05:38
|

We’re sick and tired of the tyranny.
We can’t stand your bigotry.
We don’t need your military.
We’re gonna burn all your money.
You’re going down
Your time is through
This world is ours
We’re taking control
We are the resistance, and we’re coming for you
We are the resistance, and there’s nothing you can do
We are the resistance, and we will overcome
We are the resistance, and your fascist ways are done
We don’t believe your devious lies
We can see through your phony disguise
We’re gonna cut off all of your ties
We can’t wait for your demise
You’re going down
Your time is through
This world is ours
We’re taking control
We are the resistance, and we’re coming for you
We are the resistance, and there’s nothing you can do
We are the resistance, and we will overcome
We are the resistance, and your fascist ways are done
What we need is equality.
What we need is to be free.
We need a resource based economy.
Where peace and love is the key.
You’re going down
Your time is through
This world is ours
We’re taking control
We are the resistance, and we’re coming for you
We are the resistance, and there’s nothing you can do
We are the resistance, and we will overcome
We are the resistance, and your fascist ways are done

The Reclamation
04:17

Verse 1:
You have been programmed to be a zombie
Open your eyes to the lies and you’ll see
Chorus:
It’s the reclamation
It’s the reclamation
Verse 2:
You’re under the spell and the control of the few
It’s time to rise up and tell them to fuck you
Chorus:
It’s the reclamation
It’s the reclamation
Bridge to solo
We have been down far too long
It’s time to stand up and be strong
We’re taking back what is ours
We will leave with our scars
Vocalizing like Native American chant after guitar solo
Verse 3:
Look what you’ve lost through your conformity
Take back what’s rightfully yours and be free
Chorus:
It’s the reclamation
It’s the reclamation

Inside of You
06:24
|

Verse 1:
Outside you’ve constructed a polluted world that’s
Been distorted by your brainwashed mind and now you’ve
Come to the conclusion that you’re a delusion
Now it’s time to, open up your fucking mind
Chorus:
The war is inside of you
Peace is inside of you
Answers inside of you
Why can’t you see the truth?
Verse 2:
Inside you’re conflicted with what’s real and what is
In your head that you don’t understand and now the
Truth eludes you but you’re going crazy now it’s
Time to wake up, and open up your fucking mind
Chorus:
The war is inside of you
Peace is inside of you
Answers inside of you
Why can’t you see the truth?
Verse 3:
Reflecting upon your self is what you have to
Do to find the real you so you can e-
Volve into the being, that is your meaning
All because you, opened up your fucking mind
Chorus:
The war is inside of you
Peace is inside of you
Answers inside of you
Why can’t you see the truth?
