Wake Up!
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They say good fences
Make good neighbors
For you my friend
This might be true
But you still gotta put
The boards on the windows
To the soul inside of you
That t.v. In the corner
That's their greatest tool
They poison you mind
When you're a child
With their fear
And their guilt
And their rules
They teach you that you're just a number
As they program you in school
So by the time you're out
In their world on your own
You've been trained not to bite
The hand of the cruel
Wake up!
Don't believe that the system is failing
Don't believe that the planet is dead
They'll keep all the food for their fat fucking bellies
And the starving will kill or be fed
And they'll try to turn me against you
So divided,we'll turn to them
Because anything strong cannot be conquered from without
Before first being conquered from within
Don't let them get you down
Don't let them get you down
Don't let them get you down
Don't let them get you down
Don't let them get you down
Don't let them get you down
Life is a movie,we are all actors
Don't let them edit you out
Life is a movie,we are all actors
Don't let them edit you out
Don't let them get you down
Don't let them get you down
Don't let them get you down
Don't let them get you down
