Republic

You can never be what never was

And to get by you

Know you must become a part in a machine

When minds outgrow a stationary scene

They get discarded

With the others never meant to be

With the worst yet to be seen

Cause we still eat this fruit

From the tree that's in the middle of the garden

And we make a bargain

Have you forgotten?

You're still dying in their world

Just to be seen not to be heard

It happens so often

There's no way left to break out from this hold

Of who will be bought and who will be sold

Don't have to look to see it everyday

It is designed for you to

Think that there's no other way

If you got the look they'll sell you're sound

There will be dollars all around

But when decisions come

You'll find that you still have no say

It doesn't bother most that

That's the game

We've all been blinded by the opportunity to play

If you say what you want and you do what you say

Than it's likely

That you've found yourself a better way

Have you forgotten?

You're still dying in their world

Just to be seen not to be heard

It happens so often

There's no way left to break out from this hold

Of who will be bought and who will be sold

We're still waiting in lines

And we're still signing with our blood

Its all that was mentioned

Its all been no good

Well it's the right that we haven't

Forgotten the plan

It's our love that we're doubting

Have you forgotten?

You're still dying in their world

Just to be seen not to be heard

It happens so often

There's no way left to break out from this hold

Of who will be bought and who will be sold
