Yeah... They told us freedom was for sale... Sold our future by the share... Watch close... Red lights flash on the evening news Same old lies with a different view Corporate kings in designer suits Turn a whole generation into fuel Lobby money in the bloodstream Bought the headline, bought the dream Every channel singin' harmony While the truth gets lost in the machine People work till their backs break down Still can't own what they built in town Young blood drowning in debt and doubt While the boardroom cash keeps raining out And they wonder why the pressure rise Why the anger burning in our eyes Everybody feels the weight today But nobody can look away We ain't asking for permission We ain't waiting for the crown Truth echoes through the city When the walls come crashing down No more silence No more fear No more masters pulling strings from here Raise your voice Make it clear The people still outnumber greed Algorithms shape what people see Manufactured reality Every outrage carefully designed To keep the public fighting endlessly Left and right in a boxing ring While the same few own everything Different labels, same machine Different faces, same regime History written by the winning side Buried facts and classified files Questions treated like a crime If they threaten profits on the line Look alive, look alive Everybody waking up tonight See the cracks in the disguise See the panic in their eyes Can't buy truth Can't buy souls Can't own minds Can't control Every lie got an expiration date Every empire got a shaking gate Thunder rolling over rooftops People gathering in the rain Not for violence Not for vengeance For a system that can change We ain't asking for permission We ain't bowing anymore Every voice becomes a weapon When it's aimed at something more No more silence No more fear No more shadows operating here Raise your voice Make it clear The people still outnumber greed Record scratch... They can own the building... They can own the station... But they don't own the people.
