My hands are tied
But my eyes are open
This modern denial
Has me broken
Nothing mystical
No hullabaloo
Just chemicals
And no one looking down on you
(What am I thinking?)
Oh, if you're so sure it's rational
(When the world's shrinking)
But that don't make it logical
(What am I thinking?)
If you say I'm just an animal
(I feel like I'm sinking)
You can't explain away the way I feel
(You're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down)
They tell you, "Trust your head, be like men"
But never feel like you're good enough
(And you're just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down)
They wanna take our light, make us fight
But never cry for the ones you love
(Cry for the ones you love)
I'll be your warrior, your warrior
(Cry for the ones you love)
I'll be your warrior, your warrior, warrior
You're taking over
And I'm feeling small
When I was a child
I knew it all
Nothing magical
No hologram behind the door
Just a chain reaction
But I know I'm made for more
(What am I thinking?)
If you're so sure it's rational
(When the world's shrinking)
Ooh, but that don't make it logical
(What am I thinking?)
If you say I'm just an animal
(I feel like I'm sinking)
You can't explain away the way I feel
(And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down)
They tell you, "Trust your head, be like men"
But never feel like you're good enough
(And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down)
They wanna take our light, make us fight
But never cry for the ones you love
(And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down)
You wanna change the world
But your girls will be seen and not be heard
(And you're just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down)
They wanna take our light, make us fight
But never cry for the ones you love
(Cry for the ones you love)
(Yeah)
(Yeah!)
(And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down)
They tell you, "Trust your head, trust your head"
(And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down)
They wanna take our light, take our light
Cry for the ones you love
(And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down)
You wanna change the world
But your girls will be seen and not be heard
(And you're just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down)
They wanna take our light, make us fight
But never cry for the ones you love
