lyrics

it's so easy to defend the status quo, with everyone so cool and cynical
but when you see the end don't justify the means, it's just that 180 degrees
the great thing about bein' a human, the ability to reason
but reasoning don't work when no one cares, 2 parts apathy, one part despair
guess what, this might comes as a surprise, i'll no longer roll my eyes
a change of heart to let the conscience breath
one quick twist, just 180 degrees
yeah, i now know the right thing to do
yeah, anti tradition tried and true
yeah, a world where wrong has right of way 
yeah, fuck that world, fuck that heirarchy
go ahed, work, waste your life away
fuck that world, go fuck that right of way
