[Verse 1: Jesse Leach, Jesse Leach & Adam Dutkiewicz]
Held down against the pavement disavowed
Subordination of the need to expound
Coordinated covert invasion, the system
Appropriation of a subversive sound
The revolution can't be contained by a fascist system enslaved
To the belief that resistance will fade

[Chorus: Jesse Leach, Jesse Leach & Adam Dutkiewicz]
Contrive a need of hostility
To be deceived by division
Wars and greed
Death and disease
It's a world in collusion

[Verse 2: Jesse Leach, Jesse Leach & Adam Dutkiewicz]
Hands bound
Determination can be found
In the minds of those who refuse to bow down
Stop waiting for a symbolic savior (savior)
You can turn belief to truth by living unbound

[Chorus: Jesse Leach, Jesse Leach & Adam Dutkiewicz]
Contrive a need of hostility
To be deceived by division
Wars and greed
Death and disease
It's a world in collusion
[Bridge: Jesse Leach & Adam Dutkiewicz, Adam Dutkiewicz, Jesse Leach]
What can't be seen is our captivity
Covert and crafted to create our dependency
Yeah

[Chorus: Jesse Leach & Adam Dutkiewicz, Jesse Leach]
Contrive a need of hostility
To be deceived by division
Wars and greed (greed)
Death and disease (disease)
It's a world in collusion
It's a world in collusion
