You turn a cheek, they slap the other one.
Don't try and step out of line, they'll stomp on anyone.
You start to think, wh-what if everyone would stop being so weak, just
stand up for once.

I-I-I-I-I I won't walk away
I-I-I-I-I I got a lot to say
I-I-I-I-I

I thought that I was free, they took that all from me.
They told me I should back down, all around, not a sound.
Dirty little freak, but this is how we bleed and we ain't gonna stop now,
penny for your thoughts now.
Bullet for your dreams, A bullet for your dreams.

We got the noise, no way to silence it.
Don't let them block out your voice, we're sick and tired of it.
It's not okay, we've had enough of it.
P-Playin' dead for so long, don't make you innocent.

I-I-I-I-I I won't walk away
I-I-I-I-I I got a lot to say
I-I-I-I-I

I thought that I was free, they took that all from me.
They told me I should back down, all around, not a sound.
Dirty little freak, but this is how we bleed and we ain't gonna stop now,
penny for your thoughts now.
Bullet for your dreams, A bullet for your dreams, A bullet for your dreams,
A bullet for your dreams.

Don't live your life cornered, you've gotta fight for it.
Stand up and walk away, you talk like you could die for it.
Baby this life is true, but they can't stop us from what we're meant to do.

I thought that I was free, they took that all from me.
They told me I should back down, all around, not a sound.
Dirty little freak, but this is how we bleed and we ain't gonna stop now,
penny for your thoughts now.
Bullet for your dreams, I thought that I was free, they took that all from
me.
They told me I should back down, all around, not a sound.
Dirty little freak, but this is how we bleed and we ain't gonna stop now,
penny for your thoughts now.
Bullet for your dreams, A bullet for your dreams, A bullet for your dreams,
A bullet for your dreams, A bullet for your dreams.
