I get out
I get out of all your boxes
I get out
You can't hold me in these chains
I'll get out
Father, free me from this bondage
Knowin' my condition is the reason I must change
Your stinkin' resolution is no type of solution
Preventin' me from freedom
Maintainin' your pollution
I won't support your lie no more, I won't even try no more
If I have to die, oh Lord, that's how I choose to live
I won't be compromised no more, I can't be victimised no more
I just don't sympathize no more
'Cause now I undertand, you just wanna use me
You say love then abuse me
You never thought you'd lose me
But how quickly we forget
That nothing is for certain
You thought I'd stay here hurting
Your guilt trips just not working repressing me to death
'Cause now I'm choosing life yo
I'll take the sacrafice yo
If everything must go then go, that's how I choose to live
Ok, we gettin' here
At least I had a chunk
Ok it's how I choose to live
No more compromises
I see past your disguises
Blinding me through mind control
Stealing my eternal soul
Appealing through material, to keep me as your slave
But I'll get out
I get out of all your boxes
I get out
Oh you can't hold me in these chains
I get out
Oh I want out of social bondage
Knowing my condition is the reason I must change
See what you see is what you get, oh and you ain't seen nothing yet
Oh I don't care if you're upset, I could care less if you're upset
See it don't change the truth
And your hurt feelings no excuse
To keep me in this box, psychological locks
Repressing true expression, cementing this repression
Promoting mass deception, so that no one can be healed I don't respect your system
I won't protect your system
When you talk I don't listen, Oh let my fathers will be done
And just get out
Just get out of all this bondage
Just get out
Oh you can't hold me in these chains
Just get out
Of these traditions killing freedom
Knowing my condition is the reason I must change
I just accepted what you said
Keeping me among the dead
The only way to know
Is to walk then learn then grow
But faith is not your speed
Oh you'd have everyone believe
That you're the sole authority
Just follow the majority
Afraid to face reality
The system is a joke
Oh you'd be smart to save your soul, and escape this mind control
You spend your life in sacrifice to a system for the dead
Oh are you sure, where's the passion in this living
Are you sure it's God you're serving
Obligated to a system, getting less than you're deserving
Who made up these schools I say
Who made up these rules I say
Animal conditioning, just to keep us as a slave
Just get out
Of this social purgatory
Just get out
Oh these traditions are a lie
Just get out
Superstition killing freedom
Knowing my condition is the reason I must die
Just get out, just get out, just get out, just get out, just get out
Knowing my condition is the reason I must die
Just get out
