Hey
Nobody stopping me now
I'm gonna leave it somehow
When I'm full of gold
Hey
There's no turning around
Until my quota is found
It's been so long
Where did I go?
Part of me isn't here
Can you see me?
Can you hear my voice tonight?
Where do I go from here?
Why don't you understand?
What have you done to me?
Can you see me?
Can you hear me?
Cause all we need is money
And all we want is power
They will take our freedom
I'm done with this
I'm done with the system
Money
And all we want is power
They will take our freedom
I'm done with this
I'm done with the system
Take away my pain
Shift apart the pieces of my heart
And cut this game
I'm learning to survive
Between the sinners gone insane
Inside this bag
Of broken dreams
Risking what you take
Choices are the reason
You're locked up in a cage
Look around to find there's really no one else to blame
Blame yourself
For broken dreams
Where did I go?
Part of me isn't here
Can you see me?
Can you hear my voice tonight?
Where do I go from here?
Why don't you understand?
What have you done to me?
Can you see me?
Can you hear me?
Cause all we need is money
And all we want is power
They will take our freedom
I'm done with this
I'm done with the system
Money
And all we want is power
They will take our freedom
I'm done with this
I'm done with the system
I'm done with this
I'm done with the system
I'm done with this
I'm done with the system
I'm done with this
I'm done with the system
I've, been sitting in this place for years
You, have shown where to place my fear
My life is gone and no one knows
None of us seem to care
I've, been sitting in this place for years
You, have shown where to place my fear
My life is gone and no one knows
None of us seem to care
I've, been sitting in this place for years
You, have shown where to place my fear
My life is gone and no one knows
None of us seem to care
I've, been sitting in this place for years
You, have shown where to place my fear
My life is gone and no one knows
None of us seem to care
