The youth of today, sink to their knees, empty their minds
Follow the leader, swallow the system, and wear the gag
It’s better to fight, it’s better to die, than do as you’re told
Freedom of thought, freedom of speech, take back control
Power attracts, Power corrupts, Power enslaves
Authority lies; it feeds your fear, and digs your graves
Spit on the flag, shit on the law, and raise your fists
Take off the chains, slaughter the pigs, you must resist
Reject all they stand for
Reject and revolt
You’re no less a slave
Just because you vote
Stand up for a reason
Stand for sanity
Get up off your knees
Mental Anarchy!
Orwellian dreams, government thugs, prey on the weak
Under a thumb, no-one is free, ‘cept the elite
Step off the path, don’t be a pawn, never obey
Question the rules, take off the leash, go your own way
Cut off the strings, take off the mask, pick up their gun
Be your own person, be your own master, an army of one
Dirty your mind, awaken the truth, n’ close the gate
Abolish their Gods, believe in yourself, and deviate
