Lyric

Crying out loud Silenced by decree

Raising fists high Forbidden anarchy

Dangerous places sealed off False safety bestowed

Only smiling cheerfully Masks over the truth they hold

Wearing a mask Hiding true selves away

In this world that abides by conformity's sway

Individuality respected But only to appease

Education standardized Void of creativity released

Someone says numbers matter A twisted belief

Part of a positive curve A sickening relief

Exposed to the public Applause for lives lost

A meaningless list Counting the human cost

Now precious rare metal children

Are given blank lives

To type the words of others pouring down

Blank lives are prepared

Try to articulate the subtleties of emotions

Though it should have been the realm of philosophy

For social beings words must function as law

Is how incomplete the codified control is

Everyone realizes deep in their soul

Individuality is divided into easily numbers

Like parts of uniform blocks differing only in color

Someone says numbers matter A twisted belief

Part of a positive curve A sickening relief

Exposed to the public Applause for lives lost

A meaningless list Counting the human cost

Now precious rare metal children

Are given blank lives

To type the words of others pouring down

Blank lives are prepared

Someone says numbers matter A twisted belief

Part of a positive curve A sickening relief

Exposed to the public Applause for lives lost

A meaningless list Counting the human cost

Now precious rare metal children

Are given blank lives

To type the words of others pouring down

Blank lives are prepared
