Black masks & gasoline

Simply because you can breathe,
Doesn´t mean you´re alive,
Or that you really live,
This life has taken its toll,
She just doesn´t know how much more she can give
But here, at the top of the world, where I raise my hands and I clench my fists,
They stand before me below demanding the answers with flips Of a switch
I don´t understand where you got this idea,
So deeply engrained in your head
That this world is something that you must impress,
Cause I couldn´t care less
A need for revolution´s rising, it comes to the surface, Gasping for air,
And we´re not putting up with this planet one more day, much Less one more year
I don´t understand where you got this idea,
So deeply engrained in your head
That this world is something that you must impress,
Cause I couldn´t care less
So here and now, in our rotting nation
The blood, it pours, it´s all on our hands now
We live, in fear, of our own potential
To win, to lose, it´s all on our hands now
I have an american dream,
But it involves black masks and gasoline,
One day I´ll turn these thoughts into screams,
At a world that turned its back down on me
I don´t understand where you got this idea,
So deeply engrained in your head
That this world is something that you must impress,
Cause I couldn´t care less
Doesn´t mean you´re alive,
Or that you really live,
This life has taken its toll,
She just doesn´t know how much more she can give
But here, at the top of the world, where I raise my hands and I clench my fists,
They stand before me below demanding the answers with flips Of a switch
I don´t understand where you got this idea,
So deeply engrained in your head
That this world is something that you must impress,
Cause I couldn´t care less
A need for revolution´s rising, it comes to the surface, Gasping for air,
And we´re not putting up with this planet one more day, much Less one more year
I don´t understand where you got this idea,
So deeply engrained in your head
That this world is something that you must impress,
Cause I couldn´t care less
So here and now, in our rotting nation
The blood, it pours, it´s all on our hands now
We live, in fear, of our own potential
To win, to lose, it´s all on our hands now
I have an american dream,
But it involves black masks and gasoline,
One day I´ll turn these thoughts into screams,
At a world that turned its back down on me
I don´t understand where you got this idea,
So deeply engrained in your head
That this world is something that you must impress,
Cause I couldn´t care less
