Young and free, something you'll never be 

A childhood's end, it's lunacy 

Pure dictation, they don't listen 

And you're just waiting for what you're missing 



Welcome to your nightmare 

You just can't walk away 

It's time for you, to choose, your fate 

You just can't let it lay 

Welcome to your nightmare 

Your whole life's on the way 

Today 



You're no good, misunderstood, A.I.R. 

All their hopes and visions of what they want you to be 

Crucial times, made up minds, A.I.R. 

So high and mighty, though much too blind too see 



Who are you gonna live your life for? 

Conformity will trap you like a locked door 

Independence means owning your decision's 

Authority will put your soul in prison 



Welcome to your nightmare 

You just can't walk away 

It's time for you, to choose, your fate 

You just can't let it lay 

Welcome to your nightmare 

Your whole life's on the way 

Today 



You're no good, misunderstood, A.I.R. 

All their hopes and visions of what they want you to be 

Crucial times, made up minds, A.I.R. 

So high and mighty, though much too blind too see 



Fight, go insane, there's no one else to blame 

Stop, their influence, you can't give them a chance 

Break, right through the wall, that separates us all 

Start, your second life, without their hands in sight 



You got your pride you got your visions 

Don't subside, don't ever give in 

Don't compromise just keep on grinning 

The games they play you just keep on winning 

Keep on winning 

Keep on winning 

Keep on winning 

A.I.R. 



Wake up on fire every day 

And I never say goodbye 

Pre-determined destiny 

I've never been afraid to die 



Ever since i was a kid 

I've seen things my own way, with my own eyes 

With my hands i turn the screws 

In my life i decide 



Youre bent on under the will of endless dogmatic restraints 

I will rage against the machine* spewing out blind faith# 



Think about an end u can live with 

Think about an end i can give u 

Think about an end that would satisfy 



The only thing that's touched my soul 

Ever in my life of love 

Tangible and Physical visable 

Unlike your god above 



Where is all the mercy on which your faith has been built 

All i see is hatred caused by years of inbred guilt 



Resurrecting genuflecting killing in the name* 

You disavow the right to choose 

Its medievally insane 



Your god is dead or doesn't care 

Tell me which ones worse 

An uncaring god or knowing that your alone on this earth?
