Lyrics

    Nothing suffocates you more than
    The passing of everyday human events
    Isolation is the oxygen mask you make
    Your children breath into survive
    
    But I'm not a slave to a god
    That doesn't exist
    I'm not a slave to a world
    That doesn't give a shit
    
    And when we were good
    You just closed your eyes
    So when we are bad
    We'll scar your minds
    
    Fight, fight, fight, fight
    
    You'll never grow up to be a big-rock-star-celebrated-victim-of-your-fame
    They'll just cut our wrists like
    Cheap coupons and say that death
    Was on sale today
    
    And when we were good
    You just closed your eyes
    So when we are bad
    We'll scar your minds
    
    But I'm not a slave to a god
    That doesn't exist
    I'm not a slave to a world
    That doesn't give a shit
    
    The death of one is a tragedy
    But the death of millions is just a statistic.
    
    But I'm not a slave to a god
    That doesn't exist
    I'm not a slave to a world
    That doesn't give a shit
    
    Fight, fight, fight, fight
