We're not slaves We're not machines We have thoughts And we have needs Your locked-in world refuses to show us Anything real or move us Call us lazy Call us useless Would you crawl on the ground for me? Would you sacrifice time if it was me? And you lie, Without knowing you lie Every time you speak, You think the mountains move to crack the cloudy summer sky And I think back on how I left you Standing there shocked, with empty eyes You're not smiling, But you're not crying You do not own us You do not own us Would you crawl on the ground for me? Would you sacrifice time if it was me? Would you crawl on the ground for me? Would you sacrifice time if it was me? Danger is always most exciting, makes us feel alive So does fighting, so starving, so does trying to survive And so our futures tend to pass, we need our saints and Judah's We need our crucibles, we need to hunger, that's what makes us humans You do not own us You do not own us Don't think you own us! Don't think you own us! We're not slaves We're not machines We have thoughts And we have needs Your locked-in world refuses to show us Anything real or move us Call us lazy Call us useless Would you crawl on the ground for me? Would you sacrifice time if it was me? Would you crawl on the ground for me? Would you sacrifice time? I doubt it.
