they say we're madmen, we're insane
we refuse to continue their charade,
refuse to pretend there's no pain
refuse to join the plastic parade
so easy to say
that'll never be me
beneath the walls falling away
poster children for wrecked society
i've watched people breaking,
Laughed as they fell
never knowing their pain; raw, aching
a feeling i now know too well
how could they succumb to poison?
i couldn't believe the fools
driven away from reason
victims of society's rules
from birth to the moment they're dead
their burden not on their back,
but in veins gray with lead
Frozen, aflame as their sight goes black
some people smile as they die
others refuse to play; they escape
i won't live a lie
blindfolded, screaming through duct tape

I absolutely love this. You speak words of inspiration, and have written the lyrics to an anthem of a revolution against ignorance and the purposeful blind-eye. Continue to fight!
