Dare

I dare you to love me just the way I am
And I'll surrender to the charge that we were always guilty
Guilty of our innocense
Never the same since our self-interest turned us against our neighbors
For no better reason than our ignorance
Manipulated by the power-hungry hoarders of exploitation
The machine of fear
The disparities between the careless and those who care
You dip your hands in this [?]
You pay your tithes to the industry
Pay your tithes to the industry
You pay your tithes to the industry
And we adhere to your ministry

You buy a different name
We are the corporate matter-in-fact of our existence
It is plain to see that we'll determine the course of this industry
Habits are choices made repeatedly
I dare you, I dare you to see it differently
I dare you

I dare you to love me just the way I am
And I'll surrender to the fact that we were always guilty
Guilty of our innocense
Never the same since our self-interest turned us against our neighbors
For no better reason than our ignorance
