You've built a maze we were born in Then you broke it down So we needed to learn how to build A new life on the ruins of an old one Freedom was promised to us But we didn't know you've made it depraved Way too much time has passed before we realized The truth was buried right before our eyes In this brave new world We are supposed to embrace our chains In this brave new world The shadow of an old one remains The shadow remains We are the voice of the broken We are the voice of oppressed There's no way you gonna keep us silent We're the noise that's gonna stop your violence We are not blind like you want us to be We are the voice of the broken We are the voice of oppressed Slam your iron fist into my chest Like you did to the ones you label dangerous Sew our mouths Sew our mouths shut Lock us up Behind the bars Blast those speakers Make the people believe We are the disease Sew our mouths Sew our mouths shut Lock us up Behind the bars Blast those speakers Don't let us inspire the masses To throw you into To throw you into the fire We are the voice of the broken We are the voice of oppressed There's no way you gonna keep us silent We're the noise that's gonna stop your violence We are not blind like you want us to be We are the voice of the broken We are the voice of oppressed The voice of oppressed
