[Verse 1]

When our issues collide
There's a cause for the fight
There's method to our madness
But there's no end in sight
Now you can see, the hypocrisy
The incoming threat to decency

[Chorus]

The dreams and ideals of the socially oppressed
Are what keep me with my hope when I'm down and depressed
When you're down and you're lost, and there's no way out
Just take my hand... and give me a shout!

[Verse 2]

There's a way out, but the entrance is closed
They try to deny the things that we know
And yet they insist that they are kind
As they kill, torture, and alter our minds
Now you have seen, the places we've been
We're trying to change the world, not make a fucking scene

[Chorus]
