[Verse 1] Victim of the revolution Cannot find a simple solution For the problem that the government gives away for all. Can't you see? the country's breaking, The walls are falling, my heart is aching, People walking on each other's bones, rock'n'roll! The better you search, the more you can find, The evidence of the crime for the blind, There's nothing you can have except if greediness is your only habit. You're like an earthquake, You shake the ground, And every town and every city's holding back the crowd.
[Pre-Chorus 1] They came to see what's going on here, and you don't care.
[Chorus] It's breaking my mind, you see, you've crossed the line, you've accepted, i've declined to be a slave, your reasons are so lame, but those ideas occupy my brain: \"Don' let them overcome the pain!\"
[Verse 2] Your actions lead to a dead end, You can't capture the world, this is free land, I'm changing radio stations, hearing your voice with patience, It's everywhere by occasion, you can't lead the nation But revolution has to break your plan, And nothing ever stops its flow 'cause it convinces men That takes away their freedom, they need it, but you needn't. See, nothing lasts forever, And though the king lived long, he became a beggar, You've asked too much, and that's your fee, Let's count your dollars: 1, 2, 3 You've been a kingbird, and now you're crawling In front of the rulers, look where you've fallen, \"The more you get, the more you pay\" - it's my rule, my game, it's the way i play.
[Pre-Chorus 2] You keep on begging me to end this, but I don' care.
[Chorus] It's breaking my mind, you see, you've crossed the line, you've accepted, i've declined to be a slave, your reasons are so lame, but those ideas occupy my brain: \"Don' let them overcome the pain!\"
[Bridge] i will be holding on 'til it's over, and you won't shut me down 'cause life's not a fairytale when you're not a king anymore . (Don' let them overcome the pain!)
