We try to put the fire out; it keeps on burning
We try to win the streets back; we keep on losing
Your mouth was free; your words belong to me
Your pain is my reward; I am truth
We try to keep the heat on but never break the chill
The child tries not to fidget; "Take your s**er and sit still!"
You words were free; your thoughts belong to me
Your pain is my reward; I am truth
Your leader is there to break your will but your mind is a weapon if you've got one
Scratching for that higher higher higher high
Your thoughts were free; your actions belong to me
Your pain is my reward; I am truth
Your mouth was free; your words belong to me
Your pain is my reward; I am truth
