1984

These man-made morals
 Like perfectly paved sidewalks
 Force direction and safety
 As they watch us like hawks
 They teach us to walk with blinders
 Like the horses they wish we were
 To carry their causes on our backs
 Without questioning what they're for
 We simply nod and agree, we are bred to be lazy
 They set the world on fire, and we are the gasoline (and we are the gasoline)
 We're told to accept these given proofs
 We're fed a diet of lies and unproven truths
 ♪
 I know that we've been herded together
 To be different leaves us alone
 They've put our minds to sleep
 Our dreams are not our own
 Like a thief, they came in the night
 To remove our will to fight
 We simply nod and agree, we are bred to be lazy
 They set the world on fire, and we are the gasoline (and we are the gasoline)
 We're told to accept these given proofs
 We're fed a diet of lies and unproven truths
 ♪
 They sit above, cast judgment down
 Offer no help to those that will surely drown
 They cast me out 'cause I don't feel the same
 I'm not content to leave the world aflame
 And if to stand for something that's not a trend
 (Leads me to my end) then I'll smile as I leave
 Because I fought for something I believe
