In my life the weather comes and goes but doesn't change me
We see through the lies that overrun our city
What have we done?
I'll only change for me
The influence that tries but never will succeed
For I am immovable when I don't believe
You're putting all your money into a broken slot machine
I need reason to see the mean

Drought

Knowing when to tell the story is half the battle when socializing
Brought to silence by louder voices
Unfinished and compromising
Just let me speak my mind and I'll pretend to fit in
Fitting in is so absurd when you can't say a single word
Observe the interactions served by tonight's attraction
Onlookers looking for a chance
Considering the circumstance that we've stumbled into
Just let me entertain you
I've got a lot to say
But I can't seem to find a way to let my voice be heard
If you're two wheels I got the third
Maybe I should sit this one out
Dry up and slowly turn to drought
No friends and no more fun
A hampered man I have become

They're getting fatter
We're serving it to them on a silver platter
The only thing that makes it wrong
Is that they're footing with our paychecks
But I know it doesn't matter
The one who steps up is made to lie down
And getting flatter
Until he's paper thin
They use him to paint a pretty picture
Until he looks just like the man they're looking for
He was bright
And he lead the fight
But they bought him out
Much to their delight
With their secrets safe
And their pockets full
We wait for the next attempt at revolution
Another victim
With great ideas but sheep mentality
So they picked him
And showed him true happiness
Everything he ever wanted was in front of him
He just had to say yes
He was bright
And he lead the fight
But they bought him out
Much to their delight
With their secrets safe
And their pockets full
We wait for the next attempt at revolution
So many people with good intentions
Where do they go? Did they find a way in?
Are we all corrupt?
Will they give enough to keep our mouths shut?
He was bright
And he lead the fight
But they bought him out
Much to their delight
With their secrets safe
And their pockets full
We wait for the next attempt at revolution

Stupidity at it's finest
We'll never learn from our mistakes
When the next generation is brought up by the worst of ours
It's hard to look on the brighter side
We need more than television's best
Maybe then we'll have the courage to invest
In our reality where lives are played like pawns
Under the thumb of corruption
I know that we could do so much better
Turn on the news and I see his face
The face of a man that symbolizes disgrace
He hasn't got a clue
Except to make a fool of you
If ignorance was the key to success
Then that would clarify this mess
We need more than television's best
Maybe then we'll have the courage to invest
In our reality where lives are played like pawns
Under the thumb of corruption
We need more than television's best
Maybe then we'll have the courage to invest
In our reality where lives are played like pawns
Under the thumb of corruption
I know that we could do so much better

Warriors

We live in a world of warriors
But not the kind you'd think
They want more than blue and pink
They bear no armour, swords, or shields
But they're gonna tell you how they feel
Using their thumbs to abuse everyone
Or flicking their tongues with a flap of their gums
A war of words with our future at stake
They beg for the cow but they don't want the steak
Fight a battle worth fighting for
Being offended shouldn't work anymore
Taking our kindness for weakness
Making it harder to be seamless
Sensitivity is still on the rise
It's passing the limit that was set by the skies
Start with a spark
They're not the warriors you'd think
They want more than just blue and pink
They're individuals following the pack
Controversy gives them a panic attack
For people who don't like guns
You'd figure they have a problem with being triggered
Fight a battle worth fighting for
Being offended shouldn't work anymore
Taking our kindness for weakness
Making it harder to be seamless
Sensitivity is still on the rise
You're our new champion so go claim your prize
Start with a spark
