Slaves to the System

They think we’ll back down
They think we’ll grow up
And still have this sense of smallness

They feed us with their fears
They fight us with their feelings
They feed with their tears
They fight us with their faith
We almost started to believe it

We’re not slaves to the system
We’re not beggars for the cause
We’re not slaves to the system We reach out to where we’re called

We’re not slaves to the system
We’re not beggars for the cause
We’re not slaves to the system
We’re not broken by the laws

They think we won't They think we can't
Think we’ll never make it out
They think we won't They think we can't
Think we’ve lost

They think we’ll back down
They think we’ll conform
They think we’ll lie down when criticised

They feed us with their fears
They fight us with their feelings
They feed with their tears They fight us with their faith
We almost started to believe it

We’re not slaves to the system
We’re not beggars for the cause
We’re not slaves to the system
We reach out to where we’re called

We’re not slaves to the system
We’re not beggars for the cause
We’re not slaves to the system
We’re not broken by the laws

They think we won't They think we can't
Think we’ll never make it out
They think we won't They think we can't
Think we’ve lost

We’ll prove you wrong
Prove you wrong
Prove you wrong
Prove we’re strong

Dreamed of a changed life unchained
Dreamed of a change life unchained
Dare not to care what the people think Just care for the people care for the people
Other people tell us what is right and wrong
To the left of the good and the bad is born
Other people tell us what is right and wrong
What is left inside is the eye of the storm

We’re not slaves to the system
We’re not beggars for the cause
We’re not slaves to the system
We reach out to where we’re called

We’re not slaves to the system
We’re not beggars for the cause
We’re not slaves to the system
We’re not broken by the laws

Prove you wrong
Prove you wrong
Prove you wrong
Prove we’re strong
