With lectureD5 I puncture the structure of lies
Installed in our minds and attempting
To hold C5us back
D5 We've got to take it back C5
Holes D5in our spirit causin' tears and fears C5
OneD5sided stories for years and years and years
I'm inferior? Who's infeC5rior?

But the lesson plan he can't recall
The student's eyes don't perceive the lies
Bouncing off every fucking wall
His composure is well kept
I guess he fears playing the fool
The complacent students sit and listen to some of that
Bullshit that he learned in school
[Verse 4]
D5Europe ain't my rope to swing on
Can't learn a thing from it
Yet we hang from it
Gotta get it, gotta get it together then
Like the motherfuckin' weathermen
To expose and close the doors on those who try
To strangle and mangle the truth
'Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react
We gotta take the power back
[Chorus]
