[Verse]
The world is turning round and round
With every word they plant the sound
Ideas that keep our minds in bind
Leaving free thought far behind
[Verse 2]
From the cradle to the school
They teach us all to play the fool
To work not think just be a part
In this machine without a heart
[Chorus]
They want us all to march in line
To never question to never shine
A nation built on silent cries
While truth inside us slowly dies
[Verse 3]
Our Father's father knew it well
A spell they cast a living hell
Be cogs that ground the gears of fate
Too late to see we took the bait
[Bridge]
But break the chains and rise we must
Leave behind the lies and dust
For we are more than cogs and wheels
Awake the dreams the spirit feels
[Chorus]
They want us all to march in line
To never question to never shine
A nation built on silent cries
While truth inside us slowly dies
