Lyrics

[Verse 1] For too long I've tried to compromise my integrity For someone else's dreams I closed my eyes, my mind And let them lead me into submission Now I feel the lesser of two evils With my head bowed down Tail between my legs And I'm afraid this is not me [Verse 2] Inspiration, it flies high When I'm looking away from the American lie Expectations fill my head with dreams I've never dreamt I pledge defiance to a society Forged from anger, hate and greed Hoping that someday my fight will catch on you Now my pockets full of lint And my heads full of expectations I'm still trying to build a guiltless fortress [Guitar Solo] [Outro] I'm gonna take back (Take back) what's mine (Take back) My heart, my body, my soul, my mind You can have (You can have) your restrain, self righteous contradictions Take back (Take back) what's mine (Take back) My heart, my body, my soul, my mind Take back (Take back) what's mine (Take back) My heart, my body, my soul, my mind [Instrumental Outro]
