whatever you want it to be
You look down on us from your pedestal.
Our happiness to you is unbearable.
You only see us in your warped perspective.
But you don’t know your reality’s defective.

We cry for help, but we’re too late.
Who are you to decide our fate?
You manipulate us to benefit your greed.
You’ll take everything till we all bleed.

You’re so blinded by power that it’s impossible to notice.
How much damage you’ve done, look at all this injustice.
But we’ll hold our thoughts no more!
Can’t you see that you started this war?

You’ve created a system that’s going to fail.
And when you see what you’ve made was hell.
We’ll rise up and fight till the last breath.
There’s no way out for you but death.

You used and abused the system for your pleasure and fun.
But it’s time to pay for your sin, there’s nowhere to run.
We want out of this oppression you’ve made.
We’ve been pushed to far, we’re no longer afraid.
