Lyrics

(Verse 1)
They draw their lines on
maps they never walked
Make their laws behind
the doors they locked
They count the coins
we bleed out in the tax
And build their towering
estates upon our backs
I see the grandstand smiles,
the rehearsed debate
Just two sides of the
same old corporate state

(Chorus)
We don’t need a savior
in a tailored suit
Who claims the right
to rule and prosecute
You can keep your mandates,
you can keep your wars
I don’t need your red tape
at my front doors
Build your cages higher,
watch the empires fall
'Cause the free-born spirit
never breaks at all


(Verse 2)
They preach about the order
while they steal the peace
They justify the funding
for the armed police
It’s a masterclass in
keeping everybody scared
So we never notice
how the wealth is shared
Just another regulation
for the "common good"
While they ignore the
neighborhoods where we stood

(Chorus)
We don’t need a dictator
in a tailored suit
Who claims the right
to rule and prosecute
You can keep your mandates,
you can keep your wars
I don’t need your red tape
at my front doors
Build your cages higher,
watch the empires fall
'Cause the free-born spirit
never breaks at all

(Bridge)
The clock is ticking down on
their authority
They mistake our silence
for conformity
But a whisper turns to
roaring when the people see
That the only true illusion is the pedigree



Yeah, the only true illusion is the pedigree!


(Chorus)
We don’t need a savior
in a tailored suit
Who claims the right
to rule and prosecute
You can keep your mandates,
you can keep your wars
I don’t need your red tape
at my front doors
Build your cages higher,
watch the empires fall
'Cause the free-born spirit
never breaks at all

(Outro)
No masters,
no crowns
Burn the paper to the ground
We'll build our own way
No, we won't obey.
