lyrics

The thunder hit the window as bells began to ring,
Just like in the movies, this killing machine,
Over and a-over repeat, replay, reprise,
Infamous is famous through sensational lies,

So, hide down in your hole,
And give up your control,

(I say) Hell No, No, No, No
We've got to find the root to the problem,
Take back our control,
And use our heads, we're gonna solve 'em,

Hell No, No, No, No,
We've got to find the root to our problems,
Take back our control,
Use our heads and we will solve 'em

Brainwashed education to dim the light inside,
Programed numb to violence self-centered, glorified,
Over and a-over, again, again, again,
How do we sit idle while this keeps happening?

So, hide down in your hole,
And give them all control, (we say)

Hell No, No, No, No
We've got to find the root to the problem,
Take back our control,
And use our heads, we're gonna solve 'em,

Hell No, No, No, No,
We've got to find the root to our problems,
Take back our control,
Use our heads and we will solve 'em
