[Verse 1]
I was told the pain and hunger was not my fault
How could they be so wrong?
And man, of all five billion people
You're only one
Believed them for far too long
Clean hands
My land is my home
[Verse 2]
I'm inside the big machine
And it's eating me
And I am just a wheel in motion
Too blind to see
The way we are heading now
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm hollow
Hollow, I swallow, but
[Chorus]
Inside (I'm strong)
Inside (I'm free)
Inside (I'm young)
Inside (I'm still) me
[Bridge]
Guns don't kill
(Since 1990, there have been 93 wars in 70 states around the world
With 5.5 million people dead)
I don't kill
(75% of these people were civilians
One million of them were children)
Do I?
[Verse 3]
Drink with me, laugh with me, friends for tonight
Stay with me, sleep with me, happy tonight
I only feel lonely outside this bar, oh
Look at me when I speak, who do you think you are?
Oh, oh-oh
Well, just look at me now
Woah, inside (I'm lost)
[Verse 4]
Now I'm vain, numb this pain
Why is it burnin'?
Clean as rain, not a stain
So why am I yearnin'?
[Outro]
I can't sleep, I twist and turn
In too deep, I sweat, I burn
I'm afraid that I'll awake
Dressed up in a big mistake
Then I'd break
What if I just closed my eyes? (I'm not clean)
What if I shut out the lies? (Blood unseen)
What if I could hear my heart (All over my hands)
Accusing me for taking part of the machine?
