Break out
Outside of the norm
Shut up
Go on let me
Break out
Outside of the norm
Shut upGo on let me
Man against man
Creed against creed
The establishment won't stop
Until both sides bleed
Burn the empire
Add fuel to the fire
So put a little more
It's an all-out war
Can't you see the allure?
No thoughts, no cure
Just time to endure
But you can't know for sure
Split both sides
They strive to divide
Groupthink means shit
When one man thrives
Throw away your freedom
You want to be enslaved?
Destroying morality
To live depraved
It's a free for all
So do as you please
Do as they say
To earn favor and appease
Lead them, command themIs their memorandum
Racial propaganda
Do you understand them?
The world is a stage
You're a rat in a cage
Trapped, where they want you
On the next phase
Break out
Outside of the norm
Shut up
Go on let me
Did anyone tell you
Rules are make believe?
You are anything you want to be
Did anyone tell you
Life ain't always fair?
Ever think that, no one has to care?
Politics, journalists, celebs, intellects
Turn you into social outcasts
Rejects
Now what's left?
Can't be much
When everyone's a liar
Who should you trust?
Not emancipated
Your mind's castrated
Faded, elated, intoxicated
By the stream of information
They feed to you
Through the web and the tube
You're easily subdued
Doesn't take much
Got no self-esteem
Social media fiends
It's a long lost dream
Replace syringes with a screen
It's a scene, obscene
Bullshit to the left, bullshit to the right
Nothing makes sense
In this long lost fight
De-evolution
Of the troglodytes
Trade your family for fame
You're a star
What do you gain?
Pleasure and the pain
As you're going insane
Break out
Outside of the norm
Shut up
Go on let me
Did anyone tell you
Rules are make believe?
You are anything you want to be
Did anyone tell you
Life ain't always fair?
Ever think that, no one has to
Care
What you think
What you do
What you say
Up to you
To get through
With your message across
It's a loss, it's a shame
Doesn't change
Stays the same
This is my life
Not a joke
Not a game
You think it's funny
Who's laughing now?
Tear the roof off the place
And I'll show you how
With a message, detonator
Sayonara, see you later
I'm a walking catastrophe
Ain't nothing after me
Slandered words
Name dragged in the mud
Get your face smacked
With a little taste of blood
So take your pick
And make that choice
Throw your hands up
Or break that noise
Did anyone tell you rules are make believe?
Did anyone tell you life ain't always fair?
Did anyone tell you
Rules are make believe?
You are anything you want to be
Did anyone tell you
Life ain't always fair?
Ever think that, no one has to
Did anyone tell you?
Did anyone tell you?
Did anyone tell you?
Did anyone tell you?
Did anyone tell you?
Did anyone tell you?
Break out
Outside of the norm
Shut up
Go on let me
Break out
Outside of the norm
Shut up
Go on let me

Your actions and behaviors
What you say
Your words and expressions
Up to you
It's your decision
To get through
To overcome or endure
With your message across
Communicating your message
It's a loss, it's a shame
It's a defeat, it's regrettable
Doesn't change
Doesn't alter or transform
Stays the same
Remains unchanged
This is my life
This is my existence
Not a joke
Not something to laugh about
Not a game
Not a form of entertainment
You think it's funny
You find it amusing
Who's laughing now?
Who is laughing in the current situation?
Tear the roof off the place
Cause chaos and disruption
And I'll show you how
And I will demonstrate it
With a message, detonator
Using a message as a trigger
Sayonara, see you later
Goodbye, see you in the future
I'm a walking catastrophe
I am a disaster waiting to happen
Ain't nothing after me
There is nothing left in my wake
Slandered words
False and damaging statements
Name dragged in the mud
Reputation tarnished and discredited
Get your face smacked
Get physically assaulted
With a little taste of blood
Resulting in a small amount of bleeding
So take your pick
Choose your option
And make that choice
And decide
Throw your hands up
Raise your hands in surrender or frustration
Or break that noise
Or disrupt the status quo
Did anyone tell you
Has anyone informed you
Rules are make believe?
Rules are fictional?
You are anything you want to be
You can be anything you desire
