Lyrics

Got no assumptions
I make no apologies,
Haven’t seen their master plan,
I’m as dogged as Diogenes.
Outside those chambers
Where they gather to enjoy their feast,
I’m on a different path,
In the shadows where they dare not sleep.

So many lies get taught,
So many dreams get bought,
Just got to live with yourself in the end

Don’t you ever say
You can’t be
The person that you really want to be
Don’t believe their lies,
Don’t you dare to compromise

There’s no possession
I’d covet over self-esteem,
No brand delusion
Can’t be thrown like glossy magazines.
Outside those chambers
Where they hide away a nation’s wealth,
There’s children starving,
It’s the time to look for something else

So many lies get taught,
So many dreams get bought,
Just got to live with yourself in the end

Don’t you ever say
You can’t be
The person that you really want to be
Don’t believe their lies,
Don’t you dare to compromise
