Adestria - 1984 lyrics

These man-made morals
Like perfectly paved sidewalks
Force direction and safety
As they watch us like hawks
They teach us to walk with blinders
Like the horses they wish we were
To carry their causes on our backs
Without questioning what they're for

We simply nod and agree, we are bred to be lazy
They set the world on fire, and we are the gasoline
And we are the gasoline

We're told to accept these given proofs
We're fed a diet of lies and unproven truths

I know that we've been herded together
To be different leaves us alone
They've put our minds to sleep
Our dreams are not our own
Like a thief, they came in the night
To remove, our will to fight

We simply nod and agree, we are bred to be lazy
They set the world on fire, and we are the gasoline
And we are the gasoline

We're told to accept these given proofs
We're fed a diet of lies and unproven truths

They sit above, cast judgment down
Offer no help to those that will surely drown
They cast me out 'cause I don't feel the same
I'm not content to leave the world aflame
And if to stand for something that's not a trend
Leads me to my end
Then I'll smile as I leave
Because I fought for something I believe
