From day one Schools, peers, media Push us in certain ways Intimidated, shamed, pressured Into an untrue identity The bastard mob whose aim it is To keep me in check Can't hold me down, with their mockeries Or put that noose around my neck Those brainless clones repulse me So I'll walk alone And all I need is one friend called truth And my heart is its home This world won't defeat me This world won't defeat me This world won't defeat me I won't be a victim To the venomous ways around me This hellish environment is not my master Day upon day I've listened to your threats Year upon year I've watched you deteriorate I have my own mind Now I make my own choices And am my own lord in these days From now on This world won't defeat me I have my own mind Now I make my own choices And am my own lord in these days From now on This world won't defeat me Those brainless clones repulse me So I'll walk alone And all I need is one friend called truth And my heart is its home This world won't defeat me This world won't defeat me This world won't defeat me
