Imperium of Waste

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

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 waiting for some compromise?
Is there vision hidden in our eyes?

Hidden in our eyes

Do you ask yourself in dreams
And in the dying hours of working days
What does this system want from me?
It's no surprise they try to take

Over our action and our anger
With each fashion coat on the hanger
Sacred distractions, we can only fool ourselves
For so long

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

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 (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

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 waiting for some compromise?
Is their vision hidden in our, hidden in our
Hidden in our eyes?
