Anthem 77

sixty stories we're over our head corporate nightmare we'd rather be dead
living only to suck up the dreams of us fools buying get rich quick schemes
we won't go willingly we're not gonna be your commodity
we won't do what we're told we're not afraid of all your gold
we will not be slaves we won't dig the graves
laboratories all porcelain and steel practice tortures in order to heal
while the science of unseemly haste stains the earth with its nuclear waste
we won't go down that road we're not gonna be a dissected toad
we won't do what your numbers say we're not afraid of the games you play
we will not be slaves we won't dig our graves
politicians push spiritual drugs making allies of zealots and thugs
but their power can never destroy true direction or passionate joy
we won't go where you're leading we're not gonna be your diurnal feeding
we won't do what you will we're not afraid of your lust to kill
we will not be slaves we won't dig your graves
you've made gods out of paper and ink read your bible and don't stop to think
that religion's an unconscious fraud bowing down to an image of God
we won't go be sacrificed we're not gonna be making virtue vice
we won't do what your church compels we're not afraid of your endless hells
we will not be slaves we won't dig the graves
