the newspapers they never give me the truth
no one ever listens to today's youth
all our heroes are lying in their graves
and we are all rats trapped in a maze.
the youth is just a pawn and the leaders are king
you can try to speak out, but nobody wins

<i>[chorus:]</i>
these are the sounds of desperation
hear the screams of our generation
so hear our voice, and hear our cry
give us the truth - and not your lies!

the media has a bias based on their views
making it so hard to get any real news
they can control what we hear and we see -
a corporate information monopoly
don't believe what you hear unless you see proof
forget all the fantasy and give me some truth.
