Watch as the people turn away
They don't care about you yeah they rather you stay
They get a kick out of watching you caged while the only thing that changes for you is faces and your age
Yeah I Know that you prolly wouldn't have it this way
That's okay that's the reason that you have no say
Where did you go why'd you try to escape
Gave you food and water, you know you ain't so slave
You know you ain't no
Stop acting like you're
Better than this
Like something out there's better than this
You know there's nothing better Stop acting like your-
You say that it gets complicated
Nobody will listen
Nobody will fix this
You're so loaded with greed
& watch while they bleed yeah
& all you can say is
"Stop acting like you're better than this,
Like something out there's better than this, you know there's nothing better"
And they're ripping our flowers from the ground cause nobody said to put them down,
yeah
they're ripping our flowers from the ground cause nobody said to put them down
Can't you see
We're breaking down
Can't you see......
Can't recognize malice
Can't recognize madness
(Can't you see)
Can't you see this is madness
Can't you see this is malice
(we're breaking down)
You know this is madness & all you can say is
(can't you see)
All you can say
All you can say is
Stop acting like you're better than this
Stop acting like you're better, better, better better better better
Stop acting like you know yeah
Stop acting like you know what I'm saying
