Self Bias Resistor

open your swollen eyes
Erosion invades your mind
A cancer that grows over time
Hey you! Rise up!
Rise to fight, eliminate
Burn your fuse to detonate
The human machines of hate
All these years they've tried to break you
To your knees
Anger scours right through your veins
Now it's time to put an end
To all the lies
Now it's time to take control
Of your life
Huh!
Wake up! Rise up!
Open minds will dominate
Burn your fuse to detonate
The human machines of hate
All these years they've tried to break you
To your knees
Anger scours right through your veins
Now it's time to put an end
To all the lies
Now it's time to take control
Of your life life life life
Hypocrisy
You can't believe
Machines of hate
A disease that infiltrates
Persist for resistance
Resist their insolence
You are a dissident
Burn away conformity
Persist for resistance
Resist their insolence
You are a dissident
Burn away conformity
All these years they've tried to break you
To your knees
Anger scours right through your veins
Now it's time to put an end
To all the lies
Now it's time to take control
Of your life
They have tried to break you
They have tried to break you
They have tried to break you
(Kill them all)
They have tried to break you
