Lyrics

Simply because you can breathe
Doesn't mean you're alive
Or that you really live
This life has taken its toll
She just doesn't know how much more she can give

But here, at the top of the world, where I raise my hands and I clench my fists
They stand before me below demanding the answers with flips of a switch

I don't understand where you got this idea
So deeply engrained in your head
That this world is something that you must impress
Cause I couldn't care less

A need for revolution's rising, it comes to the surface, gasping for air
And we're not putting up with this planet one more day, much less one more year

I don't understand where you got this idea
So deeply engrained in your head
That this world is something that you must impress
Cause I couldn't care less

So here and now, in our rotting nation
The blood, it pours, it's all on our hands now
We live, in fear, of our own potential
To win, to lose, it's all on our hands now

I have an american dream
But it involves black masks and gasoline
One day I'll turn these thoughts into screams
At a world that turned its back down on me

I don't understand where you got this idea
So deeply engrained in your head
That this world is something that you must impress
Cause I couldn't care less
