I feel like we keep fighting a war deep within
A war that we keep fighting and we'll never win
It seems that we just keep digging a deeper grave
To pile up the bodies and to hide our shame
Hustling doing anything to get paid
Claiming that we're free
But we're really slaves
Minds chained to the pulse of the machine
Enslaved by the war machine
And it goes on and on and on
It's the blood in your vein
The thought in your brain
The heart in your chest
That drives you insane
The need for us to break the cycle
It's the rise and the fall
The ones who stand tall
The dark before dawn
The need to move on
I think it's time to break the cycle
I feel like the hatred has us separated
The heart and the spirit have been dislocated
A whole generation miseducated
A ticking time bomb to be detonated
I've seen the best of us dragged through hell
Yet we put a crown 'pon the infidel
Shaking my head
We'll forever be enslaved by the war machine
And it goes on and on and on
It's the blood in your vein
The thought in your brain
The heart in your chest
That drives you insane
The need for us to break the cycle
It's the rise and the fall
The ones who stand tall
The dark before dawn
The need to move on
I think it's time to break cycle
Break, break, break
Break, break, break
The cycle, the cycle
It's the blood in your vein
The thought in your brain
The heart in your chest
That drives you insane
The need for us to break the cycle
It's the rise and the fall
The ones who stand tall
The dark before dawn
The need to move on
Break, break, break
