The Line

I tried to find when I lost control Did I ever have it? I walked the line like I was told But I have been bought and sold We've been bought and sold Walk the line and you might get fed Keep your head down make that bread Shut your mouth or you'll end up dead The minders are watching So here we are again locked up in our heads Hoping that we find our way back out of the line (out of the line) We can't stop to ask ourselves what it means to be alive When wе're all to busy playing games to survive Evеry time I divide the pie I have to believe in the biggest lie Everyone who's hungry will eat There's not enough for me, so there's nothing left for you So here we are again locked up in our heads Hoping that we find our way back out of the line (out of the line) We've been bought and sold Walk the line and you might get fed Keep your head down make that bread Shut your mouth or you'll end up dead The minders are watching We've been bought and sold Walk the line and you might get fed Keep your head down make that bread Shut your mouth or you'll end up dead The minders are watching Walk the line and you might get fed Keep your head down make that bread Shut your mouth or you'll end up dead The minders are watching

Otherwise abandoned Left to our own devices Another plea discarded To silence all our voices Holding onto something that's long lost Fighting to be heard through the chaos We rise to fall Betrayed by our own selves All alone We will become lost and forgotten All that divides aligns our eyes To justify the lie that we are always right (always right) I'm always right All as one we sing the same rhyme The changing of times further dеcides that we're dying Thе harder we preach our arrogant breed is lying Holding onto something that's long lost Fighting to be heard through the chaos We rise to fall Betrayed by our own selves All alone We will become lost and forgotten We rise to fall Betrayed by our own selves All alone We will become lost and forgotten Lost and forgotten Lost and forgotten Lost and forgotten
