MORE THAN THIS Lyrics

It's been a while since I've seen the light

I've been trapped in hell told I was fighting the good fight

But which is which?

And where should I stand?

Cause just like everybody else

I am against the man

I'd look to god

If there is a god

Or is this life just random and god is a hopeful facade?

What does it mean?

Tell me where do we go?

Was life always meant to be this fucking difficult?

Eyes are upon you

Debt it surrounds you

Hate is within you

And all you fucking do is text me, tag me, tell them all about me

I think it fucking obvious

You're one of them

What I want is more

Than the money in the bank that depicts my social rank

What I want is more

Than the objects that we buy just to fill our empty lives

What I want is more

Than the static in our ears and the messages we hear

What I want is more

Than this world that you made and this life that you left me

Wake up, quit playing the idiot

Get off that shit before the evildoers get away with it

They've got your monies and they have your souls

They've got the power and they have you fooled thinking that you're in control

And that's not right

No it should not be

After all they claim this is the land of the free

I'm not an anarchist

I'm not a communist

I'm not a terrorist with guns to make a point of it

I'm just human

Human like you, oh

Asking for your help

please help me help you

What I want is more

Than a million different friends, and the million different trends

What I want is more

Than the church that they feed just to get a good night sleep

What I want is more

Than a government we hire to be tapping on our wires

What I want is more

Than this world that you made and this life that you left me

Another day

Another night

Another year of my life has gone by and I have nothing to show for

Was born a slave to the man

I'm marked and cuffed by my hands

I swear I'm doing what I can without becoming a whore

They got me begging for change

Stealing, starving going insane

And it's a fucking shame when you're the one who's down on the floor

I'm gonna use what I know

To get me where I must go

I'm going to find my way out of this hole

Out of this hellhole

What I want is more

Than the apathetic state and the drugs that ease the pain

What I want is more

Than the fear that they teach and the hatred that they preach

What I want is more

Than the promises they give and the struggle just to live

What I want is more

Than this world that you made and this life that you left me

Than this would that you made and this life that you left me
