lyrics

Can’t Be Swayed (No More)

Everyone
Tellin me
What to do
How to be
Everyone
Thinks they know
What’s best for me
They lecture me
Put me down
Tell me I’m wrong
Tell me they’re right
Always a fight
Their judgment
Implies
I’m paranoid
Cause I smoke too much weed
Testify as to why
It demotivates me
Try and make me conform
To their society
Their ideology
Their piety

Well fuck off
No more
You can’t bring me down
To your dirty floor
You can’t force me to open
That fuckin door
I’m standin aside
Of the curses you swore
I’m letting them fill
That bubble of yours
I can’t be swayed no more, no more
I can’t be swayed no more
I can’t be swayed no more, no more
I can’t be swayed no more

Poem section:

I feel the sense of outcast
Of not being what others want of you
Of not signing the contract to suffer
Living freed from peoples self-constraints
Imposed upon your head
Disillusioned
Called crazy
In this system broken down
This
Torment
Derangement
Complacence
Estrangement
Stomach won’t digest anymore
Bankrupted by bills
And pills pushed your way
I don’t accept that life no more
I won’t stay silent, it’s war
Where protests are suppressed
Freedom of press attacked
Division and denial
Beset in the psyche
I can’t fit in
I’m a rebel
A wildfire raging in my skin

I can’t be swayed no more, no more
I can’t be swayed no more
I can’t be swayed no more, no more
I can’t be swayed no more x5
