[Verse 1]
You don't understand (You don't understand!)
Unless you reprogram
I try to assimilate (You don't understand!)
You still intimidate
[Chorus]
But your iron fist will never knock me down
'Cause I'm powered
By a conscious right to conduct my life
Without fear
[Verse 2]
You are ten percent
Thought without dissent
The rest is washed away
You cyborg of the state
You will never see (You will never see!)
Such sweet autonomy
As to stray at all (You will never see!)
From your protocol
[Chorus]
Your iron fist will never knock me down
'Cause I'm powered
By a conscious right to conduct my life
Without fear
Your tyranny burns my circuitry
And I won't stand by
I know my rights and I will fight, fight, fight
Yeah! Yeah!
[Verse 3]
You're scanning the room
For targets to consume
But your pulse is loud and clear
You persecute in fear
[Chorus]
Your iron fist will never knock me down
'Cause I'm powered
By a conscious right to conduct my life
Without fear
Your tyranny burns my circuitry
And I won't stand by
I know my rights and I will fight, fight, fight
Yeah! Yeah!
