Para Refletir (193) There is no Middle Ground

I’m struggling in a good-girl-straight jacket
Time has come to say that’s it
If I spend my life waiting for tomorrow
I’ll wake up one day and it’s over
No-one’s gonna come to deliver the goods
Do it yourself is the clue
It takes courage to follow your heart
But as far as I’m concerned it’s free of charge

So tell me, who’s stopping you what’s on your way
Other people’s wishes to obey
Is your purpose to make them feel okay
Now who’s to blame
I’ll stand behind every word I say
And I don’t really care if you see me fail
I’ll make my own miracles
With bare hands I build my own paradise

This is my law, this is my system, this is my force,
my state, my mission
This is my way, this is my vision
And the voice inside my head says
Let the pressure
Let all the pressure out
Obey your pleasures
Follow your deepest pleasures
The things you treasure
Sacrifice the things you treasure
Life’s a creation I wanna look back..

My criteria for good life doesn’t originate from materia
So if you’re looking for someone to call naive
You can stop searching have a look at me
I say all we need is already here but what it means
Is for your own eyes to see
I’m not intimidated by threats
I’ll fight for the right to decide for myself

Cause if you need a scapegoat you’re sure to find one
Rock the boat or you won’t get nothing done
Discard and start from scratch
Unafraid to leave or turn back
Been wrong as many times as I’ve been right
I’ve lost the faith but never gave up the fight
Consequences, schmonsequences
I’ll bang my head on the wall till it crumbles

This is my law, this is my system,
this is my force, my state, my mission
This is my way, this is my vision
And the voice inside my head says
Let the pressure
Let all the pressure out
Obey your pleasures
Follow your deepest pleasures
The things you treasure
Sacrifice the things you treasure
Life’s a creation I wanna look back at it and feel proud!

The prophecies came true
I witness the living proof
The world becomes as described in the fiction
The empty eyes stare at me
He’s telling me war is peace
The course of events fits the description
The race has begun counting 3-2-1
Are you ready?
I’m not a star in your flag
But I’m expected to stand
For the blood thirsty cause of your forces
I cannot stay outside
There is no middle ground
No one can prevent things from changing
The battle has begun counting 3-2-1
Are you ready?
So run for your lives when it comes
We hail you dressed in rage
Cause only the insane will equate
Integrity with pain
Annihilate to liberate
Call your dogs of war
To account for
The hate, the disgrace you will now face
Cause we don’t believe in the hype
about the land of the free
Where justice can be bought
Count zero
The signal is black and white
The evil personified
I’m looking at a face of catastrophy
The terror is unified
My vote is bought with the sight
Of the innocent cries
We’ve gotta make it right!
The race has begun counting 3-2-1
I’m ready!
I know I gotta do
What’s right for me and you
I won’t give up the hope, no
The dove has been shot down
The flowers stomped to the ground
But will always remain idealistic
