Awake is our Fate

Trouble and pain everywhere it can be

But no one is willing to stop and see

Distraction reaction most certainly

Numbs the sense of responsibility

Poems and rhyming, oh, so happy and free

Let’s go on an, oh, so giant shopping spree

My favorite team, oh, what a close win

My favorite show, oh, how it turns and spins

Music and drugs, oh, dancing gay and with glee

Hard and late mornings, oh, where’s the coffee?

Movies and stars, oh, how they give me escape

To completely forget the great human rape

Both near and far and in our very homes

It’s time to acknowledge the chains on our bones

We're all trapped in a debt based economy
The government's in bed with big industry
The TV is bought and owned and controlled

GMO’s in our food are hidden not bold
Corporations are people with full human rights
While our rights disappear with no end in sight
No Choice in the matter, you're taking that shot
Bad reaction or not, control is what's sought

All activities are tracked and cataloged

Cause of the government’s fake terrorist fog

War in five countries and they’re looking for more

The waste of trillions while fucking the poor

But Big Brother Obama is so freakin’ cool

It’s hard to speak while I gawk and I drool

But Bush, Republican, Democrat, or not

They’re on the same team and they’re screwing the lot

From inside the matrix it seems I’m crazy

But boundless is my faith in humanity:

To release the fear the strangleholds our lives,

This bitter attraction to all of the lies;

To ignite the flame and passion inside,

The power of love in our heart it resides;

To recognize and affirm the god in us all,

That we’re the deciders if we fly or we fall

So which will it be freedom or slavery?

The choice is that serious most certainly

Will we stand to our feet and breathe real change?

Or will we stay in our seats for more of the same?

I know who we are and what we can be

So the choice for me was made quite simply

The world it awaits for us to partake

To create the greatest human slave escape

The strength of our voice is all that we'll need

To nourish the soil and plant this new seed

But first we must lose the fear of being awake

To bring truth to the world and relieve all the senseless ache
