Fighting (For Our Lives) Songtext
von Chilled Monkey Brains

We′re forced to occupy the margins
Isolated and impoverished
Forced into thinking that
We were here only to do just this
Without ever knowing why
We never questioned why
We just impulsively submit

Give the people what they want
An aberration to entertain
It helps maintain the hierarchy
That's constantly kicking us in the teeth
We were meant for so much more

We don′t need an army
We just need to think for ourselves
Halt overindulgence
Stop protecting things we think we need
Then needlessly dispose of
We needlessly dispose of


Why can't we re-define ourselves
Evolve how we communicate and
Not concern ourselves with
Divisive labels that buy and sell
This state of pointless blame (Whoa)
Senseless shame (Whoa)
The fighting, the dying
The suffering, the crying
While we're pacified, lethargically vying
To regain control, break from their hold
Before we forsake our souls
Transgression met with action
We′re fighting for our lives

We′re forced to occupy the margins
Isolated and impoverished
Forced into thinking that
We were here only to do just this
Without ever knowing why
We never questioned why
We just impulsively submit

We are fighting
(We are fighting)
We are fighting
(We are fighting)

We are fighting
(We are fighting)
