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

(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

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

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?

about

Based on the rock genre, these songs and the album's concept is meant to protest against fascism, racism, sexism, bigotry, hatred, lies, and other control mechanism meant to keep the rich rich and the poor poor while devastating and destroying our health, lives, the animals, the Earth, and our future. All of the songs fit into the rock protest theme and also provide insight and enlightenment into the struggles we face and how to overcome these adversities. We must keep looking inside ourselves for peace and love and project these amazing qualities onto ourselves, others, the animals, and the Earth to make a difference.
