Things can change in the pouring rain From the shadows, see it towering Half the light can fade away Face your shadow then you follow it You follow it, you follow it, ooh, oh Half the light can fade away Face your shadow then you follow it They teach you to heed the word of a god who has never spoken To fear breaking the law when it's already broken That to feel is to be weak, to suppress emotion So no one sees you had a heart till your chest is open They got you hating who you are, to sell you pills and fiction Reachin' for the stars when you were born up there with 'em Addicted to the news, views, superstitions To keep the visionaries glued to their televisions They want you busy stepping to the right side of history To keep you from the inside of history Give everyone a voice but leash 'em with the mic cord Feed you things to fight about instead of things to fight for Teach you everything you want but nothing you need That everything's got a price and nothing is free They'll turn everything to nothing then make you believe That everything is under control and there's nothing to see No more lessons, please, take me back to zero No more teachers, no more prophets, no more heroes No more lessons, please, now I see the question to all answers Will only bring me to my knees and back to zero
