lyrics

I was taken in the first round-up
At gunpoint to a lonely place
Blindfolded, gagged and bound
Heart pounding at a frightening pace

Held down with my face on cold concrete
Barely breathing with a knee on my throat
I felt the sting, tasted pain
No desire to see what they wrote

What's a dissenter to do?
Marked man with an ugly tattoo

I never asked to grow up in a place
Where the ones who we trust with so much
Feel so fucking entitled with this gift
That they corrupt everything they touch

I know I'm older, not a kid
And I should not long for what I was fed
The illusion, the lie
My mind is free until the day I'm dead
