You turn a cheek
They slap the other one
Don't try to step out of line
They'll stomp on anyone
You start to think
What if everyone
Would stop being so weak
To stand up for once

I won't walk away
I got a lot to say

I thought that I was free
They took that all from me
They told me I should back down
On the ground not a sound
Dirty little freak
But this is how I bleed
And we ain't gonna stop now
A penny for your thoughts now
A bullet for your dreams
A bullet for your dreams

We've got the noise
No way to silence it
Don't let them block out your voice
We're so sick and tired of it
It's not okay we've had enough of it
Playing dead for so long
Don't make you innocent

I won't walk away
I got a lot to say

I thought that I was free
They took that all from me
They told me I should back down
On the ground not a sound
Dirty little freak
But this is how I bleed
And we ain't gonna stop now
A penny for your thoughts now
A bullet for your dreams
A bullet for your dreams
A bullet for your dreams
A bullet for your dreams

Don't live your life cornered
You've got to fight for it
Stand up and walk the way you talk
Like you could die for it
They feed us lies it's true
God knows I'm hungry too
But they can't stop what we were meant to do

I thought that I was free
They took that all from me
They told me I should back down
On the ground not a sound
Dirty little freak
But this is how I bleed
And we ain't gonna stop now
A penny for your thoughts now
A bullet for your dreams

They took that all from me
They told me I should back down
On the ground not a sound
Dirty little freak
But this is how I bleed
And we ain't gonna stop now
A penny for your thoughts now
A bullet for your dreams
A bullet for your dreams
A bullet for your dreams
A bullet for your dreams
A bullet for your dreams
