You turn a cheek they slap the other one
dont try to step out of line they'll stomp on anyone
you start to think what if everyone would stop being so weak to stand up for once
i wont walk away i got a lot to say
chorus:
i thought that i was free
they took that all from me
they told me i should back down
on the ground
not a sound
dirty little freak
but this is how i bleed
and we ain't gonna stop now
a penny for your thoughts now
a bullet for your dreams
a bullet for your dreams
we've got the noise no way to silence it
don't let them block out your voice we're so sick and tired of it
it's not okay we've had enough of it
playing dead for so long don't make you innocent
i won't walk away
i got a lot to say
Bridge:
don't live your life cornered
you've got to fight for it
stand up and walk the way you talk like you could die for it
they feed us lies it's true
god knows i'm hungry too
but they can't stop what we were meant to do
Chorus: (x2)
i thought that i was free
they took that all from me
they told me i should back down
on the ground
not a sound
dirty little freak
but this is how we bleed
and we ain't gonna stop now
a penny for your thoughts now
a bullet for your dreams
a bullet for your dreams
a bullet for your dreams
a bullet for your dreams
a bullet for your dreams
