LYRICS:

They come into your place 

and don’t ask for permission 

they are graceful in their discontent 

you haven’t seen their faces yet. 

But they love to sneak surprise, 

they’ll blame it on the news, its lies, 

we’ll say you can’t trust history yet 

they’re all here to aid and abet.

 

I’m not afraid at all 

they’re not gonna take what’s in us.  

They think they got us all 

you’re not gonna change what’s in us. 

 

Snakes are chasing off their tails 

as leeches are increasing sales 

it’s hard to tell who loves for real 

when everything’s about the deal. 

I know that some have open eyes 

I cannot hate who fall for lies 

but ask yourself now—

who do you follow, 

but who do they follow?

 

We’re not afraid at all 

they’re not gonna take what’s in us.  

We’re gonna make the call 

they don’t know what’s still left in us.  

We’re gonna see it all 

they’re not gonna break what’s in us. 

I gotta laugh that’s all 

they can never shape what’s in us. 

 

They come into your space 

and look all too familiar 

they do not give you reason to share

or better ways which to compare. 

There’s only so many 

places that you can still be free 

they don’t want you to know your head

the microchip’s not ready yet.

 

I’m not afraid at all…

we’re gonna to make the call…

I might’ve seen it all 

they’re not gonna change what’s in us.  

They think they got us all 

they’re not gonna shape what’s in us. 

I gotta laugh that’s all…
