Just tow our line
Trust us, it’ll be ok
No!...Ask no questions
We’ll tell you just what to think
Right is wrong / Wrong is right
Blur the lines / No black or white
Chorus
I won’t be your puppet
You don’t get to pull my strings
All you get is my defiance
Your religion ain’t for me…!
You're willing sheeple
Regurgitate your lies
Willing subjects
Handing you their minds
But NO! You don’t get mine
I will not comply
You! Don’t get access
To my mouth or mind…
Chorus
Lead
Bridge
You HAVE to keep us focused
MUST keep us divided
Fighting among ourselves
Stick to the agenda…DAMN the consequences
As you serve yourselves
You don’t get my submission
Refuse to be a willing…pawn in your force fed game
I am “We The People”…And I reject the altar
Where you demand we pray!
Second Chorus
Self appointed savior
Demanding that I bow to thee
No, I won’t be your puppet
You don’t get to pull my strings
All I offer, is my defiance
Your religion ain’t for me…!!!
Verse 1
Sleep is evasive so I lie awake and pray the sun will shine soon
And every day my prayers are answered with familiar frustration
I see faces everywhere but still I feel like I am all alone
I force a convincing smile while deep inside I’m screaming,
Would you please move on
Bridge:
This thing that I carry, I love and I hate it
It’s the one thing I cannot put down
Chorus:
Don’t try to take this burden from me I’m not ready to lay it down
It’s killing me inside, but I’m content to let it
While the world just keeps spinning around
Verse 2
In silence I suffer what won’t let me be
I need to tell someone I need some relief
But I’m sure that the only one, who understands this is me
So I think I’ll just keep it inside
Bridge:
This thing that I carry, I love and I hate it
It’s the one thing I cannot put down
Chorus:
Don’t try to take this burden from me I’m not ready to lay it down
It’s killing me inside, but I’m content to let it
While the world just keeps spinning around
Guitar Lead
Chorus:
Don’t try to take this burden from me I’m not ready to lay it down
It’s killing me inside, but I’m content to let it
While the world just keeps spinning around
Tag
I know it’s killing me inside, but I’m content to let it
While the world just keeps spinning around
Verse 1
In the Garden of Eden…once upon a time
Everything...was right as rain.
One little lie, two little bites and it all came crashin’ down
And since then…nothin’s EVER been the same
Chorus
Do you want to win, or do you wanna lose
Choose well my friend (Choose well!) x 3
Choose well….
Verse 2
Doin’ 90 miles an hour on the wide, wide road to nowhere
Nothin’ in sight...to slow me down
Fight’n with a felon tellin’ me I need to change direction
It’s probably the TRUTH…tryin’ to turn me around
CHORUS
Do you want to win, or do you wanna lose
Choose well my friend (Choose well!) x 3
Choose well….
GUITAR LEAD
Verse 3
Consequences...from bad decisions
can take you down, down, down to the bitter end.
Understand it’s ours to choose…it’s up to you to win or lose
You either live or die...choose well…
½ CHORUS 1:
CHORUS 2:
Do you want to live, or do you wanna die
Choose well my friend (Choose well!)
Choose well my friend (Choose well!)
Choose well my friend (Choose well!)
Choose well!!!
Verse 1
You were taken so far away
On a rainy morning in the month of May
The sands of time are just building blocks
To the prison of your music box
Verse 2
I spent all day packing my bags
Taking inventory of my favorite rags
I took your picture off the wall
That's when the tear drops started to fall
Chorus:
It plays a silly, sad-eyed song
About young lovers who went wrong
And this little key it unlocks
And plays the song on your music box
Verse 3
Turn off the lights and lock the door
I won't be coming back anymore
When I'm gray from old and my legs won't walk
I'll remember the way we were in your music box.
