I'm not throwing anchors anywhere
My back's not up against
Any f**ing wall
We're all told "We've got a plan for you"
We're all shown the doors we should walk through
We're all taught this world will define you...
I swear to the skies
To these streets where
My allegiance lies
It's to you
It's to me
It's to us all, the people
I know we could be
Not to any flag or government
We still
Walk down the paths that they've carved for us
Speak in the language they taught to us
Breathe in the poisons they force on us
Believe in the visions they dreamt for us
Nearly every outlet
Nearly every teacher
Speaks to our "great divide"
An illusion, it's an illusion
They'll use anything
To disarm you
To make you feel your dead inside
Insignificant, all alone
We will define, we'll redefine
We will teach and we will learn
