Lyrics

A modern group of people, yet living in caves,
A couple of controllers with many slaves.
The slaves were mindless and put against their will
But they accepted it and got used to it until

One man was pushed and the other was thrown,
One man needed something to own.
Two of them thought it was what they should do, the others thought they should do this too.
One day, noticing it wasn't his way,
One man tried to escape one day.
He tore down the walls, hoping to start
Dreams of slaveries falling apart

Well, the lies and the hate don't surprise this one man;
Social ties aren't great and they never go hand-in-hand.
The slaves had become just like the controllers, giving other slaves the same types of orders.
The slaves would become the controllers one day,
'til this day you still hear them say:

One man was pushed and the other was thrown,
One man needed something to own.
Two of them thought it was what they should do, the others thought they should do this too.
One day, noticing it wasn't his way,
One man tried to escape one day.
He tore down the walls, hoping to start
Dreams of slaveries falling apart

One man was pushed and the other was thrown,
One man needed something to own.
Two of them thought it was what they should do, the others thought they should do this too.
One day, noticing it wasn't his way,
One man tried to escape one day.
He tore down the walls, hoping to start
Dreams of slaveries falling apart
