[Verse]
You're free to do as they tell you to
You're free to buy what they sell to you
Ask yourself, "Where the hell were you?"
The day they turn the lies into truth
You're free to do as they tell you to
You're free to buy what they sell to you
Ask yourself, "Where the hell were you?"
The day they turn the lies into truth

[Pre-Chorus]
Should I see it as a warning?
Or is it already too late?
Wish you'd wake me up one morning
No matter how much time it takes

[Chorus]
I'm gonna try
See you finally slip away
From overnight
I'm gonna see you slip away
I'm gonna try
See you finally slip away
From overnight
I'm gonna see you slip away

[Post-Chorus ‒ Distorted radio voice]

[Verse]
You're free to do as they tell you to
You're free to buy what they sell to you
Ask yourself, "Where the hell were you?"
The day they turn the lies into truth
You're free to do as they tell you to
You're free to buy what they sell to you
Ask yourself, "Where the hell were you?"
The day they turn the lies into truth

[Chorus]
I'm gonna try
See you finally slip away
From overnight
I'm gonna see you slip away
I'm gonna try
See you finally slip away
From overnight
I'm gonna see you slip away

[Outro]
You're free to do as they tell you to
You're free to buy what they sell to you
Ask yourself, "Where the hell were you?"
The day they turn the lies into truth
You're free to do as they tell you to
You're free to buy what they sell to you
Ask yourself, "Where the hell were you?"
The day they turn the lies into truth
