This place is a trap. The outside has been choked off.
The brilliance of it is that we can’t seem to tell.
Put bars up around me. I’ll see them right now.
Trap me with words, I’ll swear I built it myself.

Manufactured consent through passive means.
pervasive and constant lullaby about choice.
This can’t be [bad word] cause there’s only one side.
You’re gonna have to do better cause I won‘t lose my mind.

They say love these walls cause without them we’d fall.
But this thinking’s so small. We only live, despite them all.
Your cages won’t save us, they’re no help at all.
We know you’re [bad word] wrong.

Please save me she says and looks to the sky,
but the sky doesn’t answer and the girl doesn’t fly.
She crosses herself, sits back on the floor.
Rocks while she cries. Still believing the stories.

There is nothing worth saving that can’t be taken away.
This tyranny is [bad word] smooth. The old methods are gone.
You think your voice is getting through cause you can vote or wave a sign.
You’re gonna have to do better if you intend to keep your mind.

They say love these walls cause without them we’d fall
but this thinking is so small. We only live despite them all.
Your cages won’t save us, they’re no help at all.
We know you’re [bad word] wrong!
We can see it! [bad word]  We resent it!
Relentless, invasive!
You can’t fool me.

I’m confused [bad word]  They’re never precise enough for me.
It doesn’t matter how far you take them, they’re never gonna be.
I need a place where everyone can see, but
I’m not kidding myself. I know it’s just a dream.
Right now is all I’ve got. So I won’t be caught.
You can [bad word] yourself, you can’t fool me.
You can [bad word] yourself, you can’t fool me.
You can [bad word] yourself, you can’t fool me.
