This isn't new
I've lived this way for quite some time now
It isn't you
Society's to blame

Or is it true
That I'm the only one who's thinking
It's got you too
Driving you insane

It's strange to me
They act this way to live for nothing
I'm sure they dream
But they're to scared to take the chance

Or can it be
That they don't have a thin to live for
Except insanity
My confusion turns to rage

I wasn't born into this scene
To be a slave to our own machine
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Won't be a slave to the machine, yeah
Of a grim society, oh no no
Won't be a slave to the machine, yeah
Well pardon me, 'cause I got someone to be

The world today
Made complicated, so distorted
By the hands
Of a mindless race of men

But still you say
that I can't live unless I give in
But I'd rather die
Than be a puppet on your string
