somebody else's you
From the cradle to the
grave
We try to understand
Grab onto everything
With both hands
Possess and consume
Accume and collect
Work like a slave
For invisible debts
Can you hear them
calling
Let it go, let it fall
Let it fly, let it sore
It’s not you
Let it burn, let it fade
Let it be, let it lay
It’s not you
Don’t be someone else’s you
From our first cry to
our last breath
They try to sell us faith
Handing down a message
Which manipulates
Fear and guilt
Control and deceipt
Follow each other blindly
Like a flock of sheep
Chorus **
From our home town, to
down town
We fight for the right
To live our life
Respect despite
The darkness and light
Chorus **
