Lyrics Rebel Conformist - Down By Law

Rebel Conformist

It’s not that I like the empire
You say you hate it a lot
But what’s the point rebelling if it ain’t got a shot?
You say there’s nothing you can do
Your life is submission to those you choose
Truth is, you’re no longer a rebel at all
Rise
Above the lies
Hate
Stop
Stop and evaluate
You march in time, follow the line
Swallow everything they put on your plate
Bow and scrape cause you like your master’s face
Those who won’t march get all of your hate
You say you’re fighting for the truth
But you hate all those who don’t think like you
Your so-called rebellion goes one way
Everybody’s got a master
The question is: is that okay?
You’ve forgotten how to think
Well here’s the Kool-Aid, take another drink
Rise
Above the lies
Hate
Stop
Stop and evaluate
I remember, cause i’m getting old
You said, well you’d never be sold
All kinds of people would be at the shows
Now you’re all about lockstep
That’s how you roll
Conformity or variety?
Which one do you really want to see?
Follow millionaires and billionaires
So pretty and without a care
They’re like your gods today
You love them cause they think your way
And those who don’t really stick in your craw
We can’t take a shot if it’s against the law
Conformity or diversity?
Which one do you really want to be?
You say you’re fighting for the truth
But you hate all those who aren’t just like you
Your so-called rebellion goes one way
Everybody’s got a master
The question is: is that okay?
Rise
Above the lies
Hate
Stop
Stop and evaluate
