Little Citizen
Little Citizen
Little Citizen that's what we're called
For those who would hide behind the glass walls
For those who can't pay attention
We're too broke to be tired and too young to mention
For those who would feel a threat to security
We'll steal your lifestyle just out of puberty
Teachin' us shit that we can't even use
With your stupid tools and your stupid ass rules
Ya think I'm a fool but I'm laughin' at your drool
Cos ya believe what ya see comin' at ya from a TV screen
From one to another Big Brother's gonna start to feed you a corporate stew
Sayin' youth is a problem isn't the answer
Dishin' out dirt of an age 10 predator
How'd it begin where's it all end
I'm just a prisoner
A numbered Little Citizen
Little Citizen
Little Citizen
Current of electric blue
A river of lies comin' atcha from a TV tube
I've had my fill from a headline fast food thrill
A death pill by a networking killer
A puppeteer's lies a writer's script
Written on the cash in executive fists
In the midst of the bounded wrists of the kids
That'll try to exist in the face of a human disgrace
Those who would tuck you in 'cause they think you're dirty from Original sin
The sin of power – The sin of Sex
The sin of things that you shouldn't feel yet
But you can bet that they don't get it
The things that'll come between us and them
We will rise up – shut down – rebuild again
Free all the people
