They breed the kids To value what they say Fuel a desire For a different day A fire burning up the truth inside (Can't consume me) A hollow man living an empty life (That won't be me) No not me I won't be weak Rip apart the thickest skin I'll stand until the end I'll fall, I'll rise – hold on until I die I see beyond the simple plan I'll rise and be a better man There's no retreat – I can't be beat Reject the lies You can talk but I will not buy Sever the lies I always knew The things they promised me Would just be used To keep me on a leash They numb your mind Until they sell your soul No not me I won't be weak Rip apart the thickest skin I'll stand until the end I'll fall, I'll rise – hold on until I die I see beyond the simple plan I'll rise and be a better man There's no retreat – I can't be beat Transparent world – I've seen it fall Into the cracks – crumble the walls And now I can't be CAN'T BE BEAT
