Can’t Say No Songtext
Calculate, cultivate, relegate
And chalk it up to the basic needs
Dissipate, isolate, these days
You can′t run or believe all that you read
And all the kids with the down-low brainwaves
Holding up signs saying "guns kill, God saves"
And all in the form of a faceless newscast
Commercials that say live well but die fast
Even if you wanted to
Even if you could, oh, oh
You can't say no
Even if you wanted to
Even if you could, oh, oh
You can′t say no
Calculate, cultive, elevated
Give it up to reality
Distillate, venerate, these days
You can feel it cuts evil that you see
And all the kids with the sound bites, same chains
Choking up lines playing who's who at games
All in the spell of this speechless redress
Commercials that say take more but give less
Even if you wanted to
Even if you could, oh, oh
You can't say no
Even if you wanted to
Even if you could, oh, oh
You can′t say no
Confident keepers of any path wandering
Desolate dreamers with heads caught up in the sway
Obstinate leaders of organized ignorance
Making up rules for the mute and the waylaid
But ll the kids that are raised in the free fall
And from silence in the pacified strip mall
They pay the wage with the dollars of gravity
On the bedside, oh, my conscience cost me
Even if you wanted to
Even if you could, oh, oh
You can′t say no
Even if you wanted to
Even if you could, oh, oh
You can't say no
You can′t say no
You can't say no
You can′t say no
You can't say no
And chalk it up to the basic needs
Dissipate, isolate, these days
You can′t run or believe all that you read
And all the kids with the down-low brainwaves
Holding up signs saying "guns kill, God saves"
And all in the form of a faceless newscast
Commercials that say live well but die fast
Even if you wanted to
Even if you could, oh, oh
You can't say no
Even if you wanted to
Even if you could, oh, oh
You can′t say no
Calculate, cultive, elevated
Give it up to reality
Distillate, venerate, these days
You can feel it cuts evil that you see
And all the kids with the sound bites, same chains
Choking up lines playing who's who at games
All in the spell of this speechless redress
Commercials that say take more but give less
Even if you wanted to
Even if you could, oh, oh
You can't say no
Even if you wanted to
Even if you could, oh, oh
You can′t say no
Confident keepers of any path wandering
Desolate dreamers with heads caught up in the sway
Obstinate leaders of organized ignorance
Making up rules for the mute and the waylaid
But ll the kids that are raised in the free fall
And from silence in the pacified strip mall
They pay the wage with the dollars of gravity
On the bedside, oh, my conscience cost me
Even if you wanted to
Even if you could, oh, oh
You can′t say no
Even if you wanted to
Even if you could, oh, oh
You can't say no
You can′t say no
You can't say no
You can′t say no
You can't say no
