lyrics
Lyrics:
They said sign the dotted line,
Cos we've got what you need.
We'll make you a success,
It's what you've always dreamed.
You belong to us now,
You can never leave.
Now repeat after me,
'I am free'.
I will never be like you,
You will always be content to follow.
Give me one good reason why I should wake up tomorrow,
when I'm defined by my income,
and I'm a slave to the system?
Tell me why.
I will never be like you,
You will always be content to follow.
There must be more,
I'm searching for.
I can't pretend anymore,
that this is how I saw myself when I was young,
I hate the person I've become.
What am I living for?
There must be something more.
I will never be like you,
You will always be content to follow.
Give me one good reason why I should wake up tomorrow,
when I'm defined by my income,
and I'm a slave to the system?
Tell me why.
