    What better way to oppress us than to make us safe
  To make us node in approval to the system we created
  Our freedom, our bill of right, just assurance to make us abide
  To make us serve their purposes and to serve our time
    But I will destroy a system that's build on greed
  I will destroy tradition that makes us bleed
  I will shut down the power of all those who have lied to me
  I will defy their image of what they want me to be
    But I will destroy a system that's build on greed
  I will destroy tradition that makes us bleed
  I will shut down the power of all those who have lied to me
  I will defy their image of what they expect me to be
