Try and I try and I try to look away 
It doesn't mean that it'll happen anyway 

I watch as they all look away 
They don't have the stomach for this 
The image that's burned in my brain 
Won't let me ignore my good conscience 

They try to hide our suffering 
Controlling lies, the lies they sing 
It's right in front of me 

Try and I try and I try to look away 
The fighting inside is the reason that I stay 
Try and I try and I try to look away 
It doesn't mean that it'll happen anyway 

The people that live in the streets 
The children struggling just to eat 
Our families sent overseas 
And claiming it's necessary, oh! 

They try to hide our suffering 
Controlling lies, the lies they sing 
It's right in front of me 

Try and I try and I try to look away 
The fighting inside is the reason that I stay 
Try and I try and I try to look away 
It doesn't mean that it'll happen anyway 

Program your mind 

I don't wanna be 
I don't wanna be among the sheep 
I don't wanna follow in my sleep 
I don't wanna be left for dead in the street 

I don't wanna throw 
I don't wanna throw away my soul 
I don't wanna do the things they know 
And it's gonna make me into an animal 

Try and I try and I try to look away 
The fighting inside is the reason that I stay 
Try and I try and I try to look away 
It doesn't mean that it'll happen anyway 

Try and I try and I try 
Look away 
I give but I gave up the fight 
I create 
I live and I live of a lie 
I'm tired of saying it so I have to look away
