What a convenient definition of democracy they have when they say you have the chance to choose but also tell you what you want Participation is an illusion that they want you to believe giving you two equal options so you can feel that you're in Voting is the method they use to make you feel you have a voice even when parties choose the candidates They give you the cause and also the cure I don't buy it If you're not blind you gotta see You must raise your voice scream it out loud I don't buy it If you're not blind you gotta see They tell you what you wanna hear a random speech just for the stand And once they win they never listen to what the people have to say They care about the companies because that's where money is and social movements are criminalized so you can never complain Do we really need a leader who doesn't know how we live instead of organized communities? They give you the cause and also the cure I don't buy it If you're not blind you gotta see You must raise your voice scream it out loud I don't buy it If you're not blind you gotta see

Robots 03:34
All our life people tell us what we're supposed to feel and do what we want and how to get it "Study hard, settle down find a job and a good wife have some kids, that's life for grown ups" But do we all want the same things? or are we kind of set up? Maybe we should make our own rules for our future We'd better stop wasting time trying to be like robots Uniformed and programmed 'Cause I feel fine the way I am following my own plan And I'm very sure I'm gonna be alright "Wear your shirt inside your pants Tie your tie and comb your hair" That sounds like my worst nightmare I don't mean you should hate it too Maybe that's what you wanna do All I know is you have to decide In the end we all are different from each other So it seems logic we all live different lives We'd better stop wasting time trying to be like robots Uniformed and programmed 'Cause I feel fine the way I am following my own plan And I'm very sure I'm gonna be alright Stop Wasting time Trying to be like robots 'Cause I feel fine following my own plan And I know I'm gonna be alright

Education is a right that many people take for granted even if they had to get themselves into debt These ridiculous high prices encourage segregation and allow economy to set the quallity This business-based system creates a different type of education for each social class It validates the vicious cycle in which poverty is immersed denying the tools to improve Don't believe it if you hear that this is the way to go Don't believe it if you're told that you got the best you could get The options are presented as choices you can make to decide where you want to go to study But they are, in fact, who decide who they want to educate using salaries as the main filter So if you're given a free option it's only for lower class, people they don't want to hear about cause' they always tell you that this is supposed to be hard and you should be thankful Don't believe it if you hear that this is the way to go Don't believe it if you're told that you got the best you could get

True Will 02:35
I never expected to become a business man When I think of music I think of art and nothing less My motivation is expressing my inner self and I cannot think of profits out of it It always calls my attention when I see records on a shelf, just another product in a store that you can buy or sell I won't judge if it's right or wrong but I can't see the point of view of those who only want to sell I guess it only... is who I am, my true will It gives me shivers when I hear "music industry" What a cold-blooded name for it I wouldn't compare my songs to a soda or a TV I guess that's why I am not a millionaire I don't need a compass to know what my north is I have learned to know myself and the power of my will It's just a feeling that I have A constant need in my heart to express myself by means of my guitar It's who I am, my true will

Something seems so goddamn stained your clouds fill our sky now I hope that you understand you ruined all our hopes Forgiveness is not for you the unity has broken tearing all our efforts down We won't forget! people with no memory are condemned to repeat their history Every day you spend on the government is a constant defeat for all of us Watch the people on the streets they are claiming freedom they will not live on their knees you have no support Every single nation here is against your regime We all want stability for this region We all have faced this before we learned through our pain not to forget Every day you spend on the government is a constant defeat for us but... Soon the day will come when we all watch you fall Never to come back the day will come when together as one we all rise Soon the day will come when we all watch you fall Never to come back the day will come when together as one we all rise
