[Verse 1]
Hey you! Wake up!
Open your swollen eyes
Erosion invades your mind
A cancer that grows over time
Hey you! Rise up!
Rise to fight, eliminate
Burn your fuse to detonate
The human machines of hate
[Chorus]
All these years they've tried to break you to your knees
Anger scours right through your veins
Now it's time to put an end to all the lies
Now it's time to take control of your life
[Verse 2]
Wake up! Rise up!
Open minds will dominate
Burn your fuse to detonate
The human machines of hate
[Chorus]
All these years they've tried to break you to your knees
Anger scours right through your veins
Now it's time to put an end to all the lies
Now it's time to take control of your life
Life
Life
Life
[Bridge]
Hypocrisy
You can't believe
Machines of hate
A disease that infiltrates
Persist for resistance
Resist their insolence
You are a dissident
Burn away conformity
Persist for resistance
Resist their insolence
You are a dissident
Burn away conformity
[Chorus]
All these years they've tried to break you to your knees
Anger scours right through your veins
Now it's time to put an end to all the lies
Now it's time to take control of your life
[Outro]
They have tried to break you
They have tried to break you
They have tried to break you
They have tried to break you
Hey you! Wake up!
Open your swollen eyes
Erosion invades your mind
A cancer that grows over time
Hey you! Rise up!
Rise to fight, eliminate
Burn your fuse to detonate
The human machines of hate
[Chorus]
All these years they've tried to break you to your knees
Anger scours right through your veins
Now it's time to put an end to all the lies
Now it's time to take control of your life
[Verse 2]
Wake up! Rise up!
Open minds will dominate
Burn your fuse to detonate
The human machines of hate
[Chorus]
All these years they've tried to break you to your knees
Anger scours right through your veins
Now it's time to put an end to all the lies
Now it's time to take control of your life
Life
Life
Life
[Bridge]
Hypocrisy

You are a dissident
Burn away conformity
Persist for resistance
Resist their insolence
You are a dissident
Burn away conformity
[Chorus]
All these years they've tried to break you to your knees
Anger scours right through your veins
Now it's time to put an end to all the lies
Now it's time to take control of your life
[Outro]
They have tried to break you
They have tried to break you
They have tried to break you
They have tried to break you
