lyrics

Century of the self
Look out for no one else
There's money to be made
Selling individuality

They want us to divide
Pushed back behind another line
The poor and weak must rise
If we are to survive

HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS
HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS

The mind
Is like a seed
Bigger yield
The more love we give

But what if our world has been built
On false voices and dreams
So we'd be reduced
To wondering
Happiness
Consuming
Machines
Always in search for
That next PERFECT THING

So we work
To buy
To consume
Then die

Isolation is the key
For this system
To succeed
Keeps us thinking
Just about
ME, ME, ME, ME,
ME, ME, ME, ME

Lets stop
Going it alone

Cause you are not number
Yet
We can out number
The ones that issue
The numbers

Then we'll become
Bigger than our
Problems

AS WITNESSING ADULTS
WE HAVE THE POWER TO
BREAK THE MOLD
NOT A NUMBER
NO

I THINK WE'RE MORE THAN
2 WORKING HANDS
I THINK WE'RE TIRED OF
BEING BOUGHT AND SOLD

AS WITNESSING ADULTS
WE HAVE THE POWER TO
BREAK THE MOLD
NOT A NUMBER
NO

I THINK WE'RE TIRED OF
BEING BOUGHT AND SOLD
I KNOW WE'RE TIRED OF
BEING BOUGHT AND SOLD
SO
BREAK!
