I hate all the noise in my head / I'm sickened by what I been fed
I hate my colonial soul / All twisted and warped from the cold
Forget all the code in your brain / It causes you nothing but pain
Ignore all the things you been told / All of us been bought and sold
Call me white, call me wicked, call me irredeemably fucked
Call me wrong, you're probably right, I'm mesmerized and I can't wake up
We're just bricks in their pyramid scheme
We're all cogs in their misery machine
We're not born, we're built / Raised on fear and guilt
Assembled and assigned / Made and mesmerized
Indoctrinated from birth / Unleashed on the suffering Earth
Raised in the cult of the dead / Our lives are just dreams we forget
