As a young mind they retire all their dead seeds in you
Making you think the truths are the things that they've been teaching you.
I remember being so upset the day I saw through the lies.
They used the Spirit that guided me to manipulate my mind.

No more suffering I have left it all behind.
They are keeping us in fear. They're manipulating our mind.

Well, I believe in the Prophet. I believe in the Sane.
I believe in the radicals that stood up against the tyrants of our day.
Well I believe. I believe.

So go ahead and hide it from your children. "They're too young to care."
But they're the ones going to war. They're the ones dying.
I'm not here to please you. I'm not here to do what you want.
I'm here to do the right thing. I'm here to do the right thing.

No more suffering I have left it all behind.
They are keeping us in fear. They're manipulating our mind.

Well, I believe in the Prophet. I believe in the Sane.
I believe in the radicals that stood up against the tyrants of our day.
Well I believe. I believe.

Murdered, for speaking the truth?
The people are scared. The people are scared.
Injustice is bringing self-doubt.
The people feel fear. The people feel fear.

Suffocation of the mind
Retaliation, it is time
We have no more.
Silence.

Forget what was taught in your history books
The people will think. The people will think.
Religion is just a tool.
The truth is in you. The truth is in you.
And God knows it, too.

Suffocation of the mind
Retaliation, it is time
We have no more.
Silence.

Isn't life a joke? Isn't life a sham?
I'm stressed out, I'm in a jam.
Ya know what I mean? Ya know what I mean?

I take a drink of rum to calm me down
My mind is blitzed, get over it!
Ya know what I mean? Ya know what I mean?

It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame, it's a fucking shame.

Isn't stress a bitch with a government itch?
Don't you see their just tryin' to sell their sales pitch?
Ya know what I mean? Ya know what I mean?

Isn't this lame, playing their game.
Gotta make more money, gotta go insane.
Ya know what I mean? Ya know what I mean?

It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame, it's a fucking shame.

Put down your guns. Put down the lies.
Stop using anger and awaken your spiritual eyes.

Be prophets in your day. Refure what they say
We're gonna be persecuted enough to show them
That peace isn't dead.

Let's start a revolution, make the suffering go away.
Let's raise up our fists, and support this great change.
We're gonna be persecuted enough to show them
That peace isn't dead.

PUT DOWN YOUR GUN!

We can, we can, we can begin.
Speak fire and awake, we can begin.
Speak fire and awake.

Turn off your tv screen
Regain your mind.
Speak out against injustice
Let's change the life

Meditate your mind
Focus on what is right.
Let's leave all this shit behind
And let our spirits fly

We can, we can, we can begin.
Speak fire and awake, we can begin.
Speak fire and awake.

There are battles being waged inside my head
There are lies that drag me so far in
My precious time is being wasted
How did they enter in? How did they enter in?

I begin to thrust my questions like a spear
To find that the answers may never appear.
Stress sets in and now I'm screaming
I've reflected what drives the tears inside

I imagine I'm a disciplined warrior at heart
I hone in on the frequencies of live and love
I hear the voice of a Great Spirit cry
What is right... what is right

I've got to find that peace inside, that peace inside.
When the mind falls into meditation,
And acts of faith become my determination,
I will rise.

I will rise
