ONLY LISTEN FOR THE VOICE THAT LIVES INSIDE YOU
LEON ROSSELSON
WHEN YOU'RE NEW IN THE WORLD, YOU'VE A DREAM THAT IS WILD,
THEN THEY TAME YOU AND MOLD YOU, 'TIL ONE DAY, BEHOLD,
YOU'RE OBEDIENT SOLDIERS, COMMUTERS, CONSUMERS,
REALITY RULES, AND THERE'S NO ROOM FOR DREAMERS,
THEY TEACH YOU YOUR PLACE IN THE OBSTACLE RACE
WITH A PRIZE THAT YOU CHASE, ONLY JUST OUT OF REACH,
AND YOU'RE URGED ON BY MEGAPHONE VOICES THAT OFFER YOU
CHOICES THAT ARE NOT YOU OWN.
CHORUS: ONLY LISTEN FOR THE VOICE THAT LIVES INSIDE YOU
LIKE A SONGBIRD IN A CAGE IT WAITS IN SILENCE
FIND THE KEY TO SET IT FREE AND SOARING SKYWARD
NOW THE SKY IS FILLED WITH VOICES, HEAR THEM SING BESIDE YOU.
WHEN THE POWERS THAT BE IN THEIR WISDOM DECREE
THAT YOU'RE NO LONGER NEEDED TO FEED THE MACHINE,
THE WHEEL TURNS, YOU'RE DISMISSED, IF YOU DARE TO RESIST,
THERE ARE WALLS, TH\ERE ARE LAWS THAT CONFUSE YOU AND BRUISE YOU,
THEY'LL LABEL YOU SCROUNGERS AND WASTERS AND SPONGES
THEY'LL CALL YOU SUBVERSIVE, REDS, TRAITORS AND WORSE,
IF YOU DON'T FIT THE NORM, IF YOUR WAYS DON'T CONFORM
TO THE RULES, THEN YOU'RE OUT OF THE GAME
CHORUS:
OH THE WAY THEY'VE ARRANGED THINGS, YOU THINK YOU CAN'T CHANGE THINGS
YOU'RE ONLY JUST YOU, BUT WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T FORGET TO REMEMBER, YOU'RE A NAME NOT A NUMBER,
AND NO ONE CAN THINK FOR YOU, DREAM FOR YOU, SPEAK FOR YOU.
DON'T LET THEM BIND YOU DOWN, DON'T LET THEM GRIND YOU DOWN,
DON'T LET THEM MOLD YOU, 'TIL ONE DAY, BEHOLD,
YOU'RE OBEDIENT TOOLS, YOU'RE COMMUTERS, CONSUMERS,
AND REALITY RULES OUT YOUR DREAMS.
CHORUS:
