It's Time

I'm just walking around with something valid to say But I don't make a sound cause no one's talking today I just do what I'm told cause I'm so afraid To be the one who lives life in a different way So I just move along like a machine Plugged into computers and television screens I'm a puppet hanging from my little strings Doing what I'm told to do, thinking how I'm told to think I'm losing my mind and I'm losing my soul Cause I'm so paralyzed by the life that I know But the future relies on the way that I grow So it's time to stand up and let this world know I'm gonna make a change, I'm gonna stand up on my feet I'm not gonna go away, no not that easily I'm gonna say the things others don't wanna say I'm gonna dance and sing and I'm gonna do it my way They tell me I can choose the left or choose the right But there's no in-between, no it's just black and white But I can choose the side on which I'd like to fight Making me believe I'm making choices in this life But who's to say I want either or When I pay attention and when I ignore I don't make my own decisions anymore No, the programmers have already decided exactly what I'm good for I'm losing my mind and I'm losing my soul Cause I'm so paralyzed by the life that I know But the future relies on the way that I grow So it's time to stand up and let this world know I'm gonna make a change, I'm gonna stand up on my feet I'm not gonna go away, no not that easily I'm gonna say the things others don't wanna say I'm gonna dance and sing and I'm gonna do it my way
