lyrics

Don’t want you the same
Want you in a cage

Open those eyes recognize they instruct them to close
It’s on the line, every lie they’re constructing is told

Tell you not to look up
They want you looking down
Tell you to watch the screen
Tell you God’s not around

Make you believe in words
They cleverly arrange
Shake up your fear and hurt
Then label you deranged

Pardon our big mouths
(We’re gettin’ led into this)
Starting to think now
(That we’re unstoppable)

Clawing our way out
(We gotta trust, just do this)
Part of this game now
(Cause we’re The Obstacles)

Ignite the flame, give us drugs to retreat from our shame
Incite some pain, masquerade as a beacon of change

They’ll keep on feedin’ you
Until you’ve had enough
Don’t want you steepin’ truth
They’ll take away your cup

Want you to give it up
Can’t have you in the way, no
Take those that live corrupt
And place them on a stage

Pardon our big mouths
(We’re gettin’ led into this)
Starting to think now
(That we’re unstoppable)

Clawing our way out
(We gotta trust, just do this)
Part of this game now
(Cause we’re The Obstacles)

(Break)

Kick up divide, what’s inside is a master of hate
Give up your mind, every time, you’ll find laughter escaped

Tell you not to look up
They want you looking down
Tell you to watch the screen
Tell you God’s not around

Make you believe in words
They cleverly arrange
Shake up your fear and hurt
Then label you deranged

Pardon our big mouths
(We’re gettin’ led into this)
Starting to think now
(That we’re unstoppable)

Clawing our way out
(We gotta trust, just do this)
Part of this game now
(Cause we’re The Obstacles)
