The faces of the figureheads

Are there to fear them but

The money bells are ringing

For those who hear them and

The seeds of your future

Await for you to sow them and

The sound of your voices

Will ultimately show them all

The ways you will matter and

Perpetuate society

The days you will shatter to

Bring you notoriety

The rules you'll be breaking will be rules for fools and

The pains you'll be taking will be your tools and



Make your own way

In this life

Have to find a way to rise above

The pain and strife

Make your own way

In this life

Have to find a way to rise above

The pain and strife



Piles of bodies and bodies

We see them and

Some that didn't make it

Didn't choose to be them cause

It's hard to make a mark

With a plague of illiteracy

But sitting on our asses is a

Form of complacency that

We can't sit by and tolerate

We have problems to eleviate

Bad education and suppression

The homeless in the street

Are a few of the nightmares that we should

Wake up and greet to



Make your own way

In this life

Have to find a way to rise above

The pain and strife

Make your own way

In this life

Have to find a way to rise above

The pain and strife



In this life, and there's only

One of them

There's a means to an end but

Unfortunately some of them

Destroy the things that we need

Like the creatures in the water and the air we breathe and

Then we wonder whose fault it all was

Well maybe not yours but that's not it cause

We take for granted the things that make our life complete

So open wide your eyes and

Get the fuck out on the streets



Make your own way

In this life

Have to find a way to rise above

The pain and strife

Make your own way

In this life

Have to find a way to rise above

The pain and strife
