From the recording Friend Village
Lyrics
It’s by design that the truth is hard to find
Kept in the dark so long we’re blind
We’ve lost our way, thousand steps down this ravine
What was it like when we were free?
Shove me in a cell
Hook me up, plug me in, tune me out, shove me in a cell in the system (shove me in a cell)
Distractions pullin' in so good, I can hardly resist 'em (shove me in a cell)
Entertain me and Jane, kill the pain before I throw an embolism (shove me in a cell)
Need a way to escape this rat race, I’m paying for my own prison (shove me in a)
What’s there to fear?
A million us to one King Lear
Who’s propping up these racketeers?
Pull back support, their veneer comes crashing down
Defiance paves our own way out
Shove me in a cell
Strength in numbers does wonders don’t need no guns for truth is the prescription (shove me in a cell)
Tyrannies stand on shoulders and knees of mass consent and forced fiction (shove me in a cell)
Tip the scale let's prevail over hell, and ditch this murderous system (shove me in a cell)
Bid farewell to these cells, we’ll rebel, it’s time to bust out this prison (shove me in a)
Rap: Remember Mao, Stalin, Hitler, their promise of heaven ended in hell
It started with, “You are not like us, you make society unwell”
Thru fear and blind obedience, we follow their will
They say for the greater good we shall be loyal killers or be killed
So let the lies not rule through me let the rule not hold through you
The most important changes happen in what we say and do
Live within the truth or hide behind the lies
Not standing up for the freedom of others, we surrender our own lives
Shove me in a cell (No!)
Hook me up, plug me in, tune me out, shove me in a cell in the system (shove me in a cell)
Distractions pullin' in so good, I can hardly resist 'em (shove me in a cell)
Entertain me and Jane, kill the pain before I throw an embolism (shove me in a cell)
Need a way to escape this rat race, I’m paying for my own prison (shove me in a)
Strength in numbers does wonders don’t need no guns for truth is the prescription (shove me in a cell)
Tyrannies stand on shoulders and knees of mass consent and forced fiction (shove me in a cell)
Tip the scale let's prevail over hell, and ditch this murderous system (shove me in a cell)
Bid farewell to these cells, we’ll rebel, it’s time to bust out this prison (shove me in a)
No! You can’t shove me in a cell
