 
So you say our contry is fucked 
let's see what we have 
fuck up cops - a fucked court system 
discrimination against anyone who doesn't have a lot of money 
there's high unemployment 
and there's people living in the streets with no food to eat 
but one more thing that we have is hatred amongst ourselves 
there are scenes - from different cities - they're putting each other down 
and bands they want to get paid a lot of money 
they're getting greedy - and they're selling out 
and kids - your friends - they're talking shit and they gossip right behind your back 
sometimes i got to get away from all this shit 
so i'll go down by the East River, i'll sit down by the water 
and i'll try to figure it all out 
why am i alive, and what the fuck is my purpose in this life 
who are my real true friends and who will stick by me no matter what! 
don't tell me you want - unity 
don't tell me you want - anarchy 
don't tell me - about your dreams 
when all you do is destroy our scene 
we have to live as one - open your eyes 
can't let this world get us down - open your eyes 
all the kids throughout the world - open your eyes 
lend a hand and do not run - open your eyes 
open your eyes - open your eyes - open your eyes or you will fall! 
when you're young your parents they try and tell you what to do 
oh no - we've lost control of you - so we think it's time 
we put you in a nice reform school 
now you're older - more mature - you should be able to adjust 
but they way they did it - it's so fucked up 
so now you won't listen to society - so it's time for you to go to jail 
always remember in this world 
you're not alone, cause i know the deal, i've been there too 
we were forced through life the hard way 
and yes we learned - but for the way they did it 
in the end they'll burn! 
don't tell me you want - unity 
don't tell me you want - anarchy 
don't tell me - about your dreams 
when all you do is destroy our scene 
we have to live as one - open your eyes 
can't let this world get us down - open your eyes 
all the kids throughout the world - open your eyes 
lend a hand and do not run - open your eyes 
open your eyes - open your eyes - open your eyes or we will fall!
