Vigilante by Outlier (USA) Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2015

You know, I think it's funny the way they say
'One day you'll find yourself'
It's more like, 'become who we want you to be, or else'
Because our society has based itself around a specific criteria
That states you're only worth as much as your own personal accumulation of wealth
Or how well you listen to your superior, because don't forget, you are inferior

Basically, hypocrites control your mind and you're subsequent to paperweight
Because they're the ones who are making it, but that's only the start of it
We now have access to weapons that can destroy entire countries by seeing a trigger and simply pulling it
And because of that, we've dyed this world red with the blood of our own warriors

From bombs to guns, we're firing rounds
From fathers to sons, we fall to the ground
Stop with your efforts, there's no saving him now
His time's run out
Cause of death?
A bullet to the head
What's done is done, what's said has been said
We live in a world where children lay scared in their bed
Fearful that they will never see who they love again
Born into hate, we were raised to discriminate
They fed us lines like 'live to fight' and 'fight to live'
'Never back down', 'never give in'
And now something as basic and humanistic as love
Is only allowed to exist if someone else allows it
That's fucking ridiculous, and it should make you sick to your stomach
Various opinions aside
Everyone should be allowed happiness, and that should be the end of it

This isn't a public service announcement. This is me calling out my generation for accepting complacency with tyranny. I may be broken, but you will never see me kneel before someone and accept life as a token. I will continue to stay outspoken, because I refuse to be motionless at best. Come with me, and thrive off the controversy of breaking out of this glass box they've made our reality. Let's destroy the future and build something better."
