Society is the killer

Eyes wide open now,
See the judging brow.
Whispers in the air,
Filled with much despair.
They tell you how to be,
Not truly wild and free.

Oh, society is the killer,
Steals your dreams, a silent thriller.
Breaks your heart, then asks for more,
Knocks you down upon the floor.
Society's the killer, yeah,
Traps us in its snare.

Smiles that hide a lie,
As true friends pass you by.
Love’s a hollow game,
Just a burning, fading flame.
Promises turn to dust,
Lost all of our trust.

Oh, society is the killer,
Steals your dreams, a silent thriller.
Breaks your heart, then asks for more,
Knocks you down upon the floor.
Society's the killer, yeah,
Traps us in its snare.

Colour of your skin,
Where do you begin?
They draw the lines so deep,
Secrets they will keep.
Prejudice takes hold,
Stories left untold.

Pressure in your mind,
Leaving joy behind.
Fit into the mold,
Lies that must be sold.
Empty, hollow praise,
Through these weary days.

Oh, society is the killer,
Steals your dreams, a silent thriller.
Breaks your heart, then asks for more,
Knocks you down upon the floor.
Society's the killer, yeah,
Traps us in its snare.

But we can break away,
See a brighter day.
Rise above the lies,
Open up your eyes.
Yeah, society is the killer,
But we're the ones who heal her.
We're the ones who heal her, now.
