Complicate my life if you wish

It won't keep me from my path

Continuing on peacefully

As I sing and dance and laugh.

Your rules will not defeat me

Fuck you and your control

Stake claims upon my body

But you'll never take my soul.

The hamster wheel of life rolls on

Don't get caught in the spin

Deny the truth inside you

And the lies will all flood in.

The system wants to break you

And make you walk in line

Dictating the terms of freedom

With the illusion of time
