i want to see all minds set free like slaves to their deaths they pledge their liberty like awls through their ears nailed to a post they sold their souls to the things they loved most now they accuse my mind is closed i ve stood in their shoes that s why i chose freedom you ve got words and clever jargon self support what a bargain you tell me my god is dead you hate a book you ve never read telling me that i m pushing you whose world is this who pushes who we ve had to watch your television subject to your decisions we ve read your books and filled your schools you burned the truth with hate for fuel you calculate your lack of reason i hate this place call it treason mind for treason force feeding lies but calling it freedom masking the truth to hide your dismay turn a blind eye to the death and decay but i will rebel it s treason i choose you can die by yourself but i will refuse a word of truth to worlds of fiction i d like to challenge your depiction of your soul and your salvation i d like to shake you from stagnation you take the nail and drive it through your ear to show allegiance to your god the thing that you love most yourself am i coming close blind to see your own extinction truth and lies have no distinction shackled slaves must drop their chains or slaves will serve themselves in vain
