It’s a knockdown, drag out, rotten mental affray
Here’s an open invitation to find your own way
Authority will make it to be your fault
No surrender, strike urgency to find your own way out
Execute escape, it’s time to break away
Another drag on another generation
Cast aside their expectation
Are you going to be the one to save them?
Be the antidote to dogma, run from the power of pretend
Years spent helping to forge shackles of the mind
But we don’t judge for past mistakes so don’t pay for their crimes
Come on now and oust the pebble from your shoe
The claim is expired, time is running out for the clearly confused
Execute escape, and decontaminate
Welcome to a better day, it’s time to break away
Another drag on another generation
Cast aside their expectation
Now it’s time for another liberation
Sad states of a western nation
But I want to be the one to save them
Be the antidote to dogma, run from the power of pretend
