Is it really worth starting a war over rituals from before you were born? You must've missed some of the movies that I watched as a kid too young to understand the plots But what I took away was A fear of illusions and falling into patterns you don't want to get stuck in a battle that has nothing to do with you And if you think we're failing now wait until the bombs are bursting here We spent centuries searching for a cure to not knowing exactly what will occur We've shared the wrong books and twisted our history it's in favor of the one whose reading But what I took away was People are trying to find a connection We just have to hope that there's more of us who won't accept the status quo And if you want a barricade wait until the bombs are bursting here The phone rings every weekend and they try to convince you to sign up forget your dreams you work for us now You were born this way you die for us now We're not gonna save you we're gonna save ourselves We pledge our allegiance to something that's not so misleading and if we don't find it we'll create it

I try to look up but I can't move my neck My phone's attached to my hands unless it's in my pocket And we learn a little more each day (We might find out tomorrow) I can't decipher the truth anyway (if there's a reason we should stay here) Debating for a world you'll leave behind Complaining that you've had too little time I take a break to sleep then reconnect the more aware I become I feel insignificant And our sworn enemies have no say (They might fight back tomorrow) I'm not good at projecting anyway (unless they're threatening from the unknown) Debating for a world you'll leave behind Complaining that you've had too little time You're running out of time because you're looking back You're not going to fight for what you've already got You'll arm those who've never had a shot

We play these war games for entertainment Now it's second nature to aim for the head Is this a flashback? or reminiscence of the past? Or are we preparing for what is coming next? Not gonna give them your endorsement Never gonna give in without a thought You're dreaming if you think that this is all we are There is a dark cloud up ahead The digital information we can't let them control it They're gaining access to how we think and who we think we are and who we want to be Not gonna give them your endorsement Never gonna give in without a thought You're dreaming if you think that this is all we are Stuck in the shadow of your achievements Doesn't matter because you'll never get caught Living life without consequences You never have to think too hard You never have to think And the steps they take to reach the top are the heads of those who beg to follow Until they decide to listen to their conscious and not what you're trying to sell I'll never blindly follow But they'll buy anything you're selling
