When you look back on our history,
All you see are war and misery,
Caused by humanity,
Controlled in the hierarchy.

But I don't agree, we're not born to be
Evil, corrupt, inclined for tyranny.
Instead I, would like to claim
That we're changed by...

The powergame that they play.
Oppressing masses, preserving classes.
Institutions to confine, revolutionist in line
Yeah, make the people blind.

When you look back on our history,
All you see are cults and mystery.
Constitutionalized hypocrisy
To silence demands for

Democracy that they fear.
So they're oppressing masses, preserving classes.
Institutions to confine, revolutionist in line.
Take a look around, take a good look around.

Can't you hear what I'm trying to say?
It's time to choose a different way.
No longer slave or passively be
The perfect part in their machinery.
No, no longer, longer, baby.
