You think I'm dreaming when I talk of the future
When hardened hearts have fallen away
Well who are you to tell me
What I ought to dream today?

This ain't the time to pose with your "iRebellion"
And sleepwalk through the day just the same
This ain't another drill
This ain't another one of your games

You try
To deny your eyes
Deception
Of a different kind
You try
To buy some peace of mind

I'm barking back at all the media circus
They're telling me who I gotta be
Never gonna get your
Petty thoughts implanted in me

I don't define my mind by your shallow standards
I'm keeping all my options free
Look a little deeper and
Tell me what it is that you see

You try
To deny your eyes
Deception
Of a different kind
You try
To buy some peace of mind

I just can't seem to see

Who I'm supposed to be
I'm breaking free
Your way just ain't working for me

You tell me to fit in your system
Tell me how good I could be
Try to change my mind
And make me one of your damn kind
Oh no, it just ain't gonna work out for me

[Solo]

I closed my eyes I took a step to the distance
And wondered where the end's gonna be
Now I'm never turning
'Round to see what's chasing me

I turned my back I left the room turned the corner
And saw the future staring at me
And now the road ahead wasn't
Filled with your conformity

You try
To deny your eyes
Deception
Of a different kind
You try
To buy some peace of mind

I just can't seem to see
Who I'm supposed to be
I'm breaking free
Your way just ain't working for me
