The faces of the figureheads Are there to fear them but The money bells are ringing For those who hear them and The seeds of your future Await for you to sow them and The sound of your voices Will ultimately show them all The ways you will matter and Perpetuate society The days you will shatter to Bring you notoriety The rules you'll be breaking will be rules for fools and The pains you'll be taking will be your tools and Make your own way In this life Have to find a way to rise above The pain and strife Make your own way In this life Have to find a way to rise above The pain and strife Piles of bodies and bodies We see them and Some that didn't make it Didn't choose to be them cause It's hard to make a mark With a plague of illiteracy But sitting on our a**es is a Form of complacency that We can't sit by and tolerate We have problems to eleviate Bad education and suppression The homeless in the street Are a few of the nightmares that we should Wake up and greet to Make your own way In this life Have to find a way to rise above The pain and strife Make your own way In this life Have to find a way to rise above The pain and strife In this life, and there's only One of them There's a means to an end but Unfortunately some of them Destroy the things that we need Like the creatures in the water and the air we breathe and Then we wonder whose fault it all was Well maybe not yours but that's not it cause We take for granted the things that make our life complete So open wide your eyes and Get the f** out on the streets Make your own way In this life Have to find a way to rise above The pain and strife Make your own way In this life Have to find a way to rise above The pain and strife
