Paranoia is in bloom,

The PR, transmissions will resume

They'll try to, push drugs that keep us all dumbed down

And hope that, we will never see the truth around

(So come on)

Another promise, another seed

Another, packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed

And all the, green belts wrapped around our minds

And endless red tape to keep the truth confined

(So come on)

They will not force us

They will stop degrading us

They will not control us

We will be victorious

So come on

Interchanging mind control

Come let the, revolution takes its toll

If you could, flick the switch and open your third eye

You'd see that, we should never be afraid to die

(So come on)

Rise up and take the power back

It's time the, fat cats had a heart attack

You know that, their time's coming to an end

We have to, unify and watch our flag ascend

(So come on)

They will not force us

They will stop degrading us

They will not control us

We will be victorious

So come on

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

They will not force us

They will stop degrading us

They will not control us

We will be victorious

So come on

Song Meaning: We = The people

They = the people of the government

''fat cats'' = corrupted politicians or people of the government

and so on :D

IN a nutshell, its about an Uprising of the people, revolution and standing up to fight for your right, not letting people of the government play around with you, and revolting against such corrupted people, with an Uprising.

Green belts wrapped around our minds--I think this is a reference to GE's Six Sigma quality program which most large companies have adopted in some form or another. Green Belt certification is the first major milestone for the employee learning this program. Basically, a framework for corporate quality improvements. And I love this reference because I have seen Six Sigma overused and overtaught. Red tape keeping people from cutting to the chase and creatively solving problems on their own without a "Champion" or "Black Belt" overseeing every step.
