Mind Over Matter Lyrics

Classroom's a prison, they're preaching submission

But in my vision, I'm on a knowledge expedition

(Uh) Textbook fiction, seeking truth's my addiction

Self-education, my mind's own jurisdiction

Mind over matter, break the chains, shatter (Break 'em)

In the brain's game, I'm the mad hatter (Crazy)

No more clatter, silence the idle chatter

We rise, we climb, 'cause thoughts do matter

Pages turn, the hidden I learn

In the library's corner, where the outcasts yearn

(Yeah) Secrets I discern, as the midnight oil burns

From the system I turn, for autonomy I yearn

Whispers in the halls, the mind's calls (Listen)

Breaking down the walls, 'til the empire falls

Stand tall, my call, in the mind's thrall

We're the savants, after all, watch the regime crawl

Now I'm stepping out, got no time for doubt

With a rebel shout, my path's a new route

(Rise) Ideas sprout, in this intellectual drought

I'm the voice, the clout, what change is all about

Mind over matter, break the chains, shatter (Break 'em)

In the brain's game, I'm the mad hatter (Crazy)

No more clatter, silence the idle chatter

We rise, we climb, 'cause thoughts do matter
