Don't paint us the perfect picture
We have visions of our own
Don't give us the safe interpretation
We want, we want to know the truthWe're not down to die
And be this typecast culture
We're not down to die
And be the faceless soldiersDon't sell us the perfect image
We'll struggle to find ourselves
We want the unpopular challenge
We want, we want to test our intellectTest our intellect
We have learned this devotion
We are programmed, conditioned
Senseless, senseless emotions
We've lost our desire to think aloneTo think alone
To think aloneWe're not down to die
And be this typecast culture
We're not down to die
And be the faceless soldiersWe're not down
