If you try to live your life someone always gets in your way
Telling you all sorts of lies – never let you have your say
I don't love their modern world – prisoner of their technology
It's already wasted too much of my time and left me –

[Chorus:] Used and abused for so long
When I've done nothing wrong
Objected to serve the state
Rejected for my refusal to hate

Once I trusted authority – listened in all innocence
Seeing how life really is – I knew it didn't make sense
Twist your mind with school to accept what they call truth
This screwed society I'm stuck in has left me –

Feed you a thousand words like liberty and democracy
Their meaning has been lost through all the hypocrisy
Our leaders say so much shit – why won't they let me be
I don't love their modern world – it's left me –

Why is everyone so uptight? Years of learning to act right
To play the game like a fool, to live your life by established rules
Someone decides if you're successful, someone decides if you're happy
Don't play some fucker's game of win or lose
It's your life – the decision's yours to choose
