My hands are tired
But my eyes are open
This modern denial
Has me brokenNothing mystical
No hullabaloo
Just chemicals
And no one looking down on youWhat am I thinking (if you're so sure it's rational)
While the world's shrinking (but that don't make it logical)
What am I thinking (if you say I'm just an animal)
I feel like I'm sinking (you can't explain away the way I feel)You're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
(They tell you 'trust your head, be like men' but never feel like you're good enough)
You're just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down
(They wanna take our light, make us fight, but never cry for the ones you love)(I'll be your warrior, your warrior)(I'll be your warrior, your warrior)You're taking over
And I'm feeling small
When I was a child
I knew it allNothing magical
No hologram behind the door
Just a chain reaction
But I know I'm made for more!What am I thinking (if you're so sure it's rational)
While the world's shrinking (but that don't make it logical)
What am I thinking (if you say I'm just an animal)
I feel like I'm sinking (you can't explain away the way I feel)And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
(They tell you, 'trust your head, be like men' but never feel like you're good enough)
You're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
(They wanna take our light, make us fight, but never cry for the ones you love)And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
(You wanna change the world, but your girls will be seen and not be heard)
You just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down
(They wanna take our light, make us fight, but never cry for the ones you love)And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
(They tell you, 'trust your head, trust your head')
You're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
(They wanna take our light, take our light, but never cry for the ones you love)And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
(You wanna change the world, but your girls will be seen and not be heard)
You just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down
(They wanna take our light, make us fight, but never cry for the ones you love)
