Imperium of Waste

[Verse 1]
I can't believe you chose to be
This paranoid shell of a citizen
Compliant to authority
Demands of fear and war
Did you choose to pimp what could be left
In your heart, to the annihilation of
Love and change in time?
Love and change in time

[Chorus]
And where's the reason? Where's the liberty?
Do we tie ourselves to this game out of fear, or our
False idea of power?
Whispered in the ear, "Are you sleeping?"
Are you waitin' for some compromise?
Is their vision hidden in our eyes?
Hidden in our eyes

[Verse 2]
Do you ask yourself in dreams
And in the dyin' hours of workin' days
"What does this system want from me?"
It's no surprise they try to take
Over our actions and our anger
With each fashion cult on the hanger
Sacred distractions, we can only fool ourselves
For so long

[Chorus]
Where's the reason? Where's the liberty?
Do we tie ourselves to this game out of fear, or our
False idea of power?
Whispered in the ear, "Are you sleeping?"
Are you waitin' for some compromise?
Is their longing hidden in our eyes?

[Bridge]
There is a pulse beating under this life
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
There is a pulse beating
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Under this life
(Hey! Hey! Our Generation!)
Suffocation, first world, minute to hour
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Oil, tanker, and tower
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
I won't detonate this minefield
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
For your false idea of power

[Chorus]
Where's the reason? Where's the liberty?
Do we tie ourselves to this game out of fear, or our
False idea of power?
Whispered in the ear, "Are you sleeping?"
Are you waitin' for some compromise?
Is their vision hidden in our, hidden in our
Hidden in our eyes?
