lyrics

Boy,

I lived in your squalor
I lived in your shit
and all your places of shame

I breathed in your poison
swallowed your filth
played this ridiculous game

Boy,

I sat at your table
I took your abuse
you just spat in my face

you stole my data
My brand and my blood
until I was erased

when I resisted
you called me criminal

but truth ain't your ally
not even close, it ain't no friend at all

Paralyzed
Give me strength to go on
Paralyzed
Give me the power to stay strong

Boy
Ok, you've got it all
you've got money, power and control
Will you lead us away from the brink
Before we start to fall


Boy
Are you wise enough to see the truth as it slaps your face
Foolishly you put commerce ahead of the whole human race

when we resist
you call us criminal

but the truth ain't your friend
And you've got no friends at all

Paralyzed, Paralyzed

Paralyzed
Give me strength to go on
Paralyzed
Give me the power to stay strong
Paralyzed
10 billion people caught in the fray
Paralyzed
In the blink of an eye
our existence melts away
our existence melts away
Paralyzed
