[Verse 1]
I came up like everyone, they taught us all the same
I said what they told me to say, and then from that they grade
Give up repeating the facts, fact can be arranged
Here I am, I'll take my chance
Now play the record straight

[Chorus]
Give it up
Oh oh oh...
Give it up
Oh oh oh...

[Verse 2]
Talking points from talking heads with automated smiles
"There's no higher ground to stand than bottom of the pile"
Give up acting unaware, you can't ignore the crime
The enemy is you as well, the enemy is I

[Chorus][x2]

[Bridge]
Not in my name, you don't speak for me
I am my voice, and I want to scream
You want my air?
You want my love?
I act as one but I'm not alone
[Chorus][x3]
