Lyrics
0:07I came up like everyone
0:08They taught us all the same
0:11I said what they told me to say
0:14And then from that they grade
0:17Give up repeating the facts
0:19But that could be arranged
0:22Here I am I'll take my chance
0:25Now play the record straight
0:27Give it up
0:28Oh oh oh
0:33Give it up
0:34Oh oh oh
0:39Talking points from talking heads
0:41With automative smiles
0:44There's no higher ground to stand
0:47Than bottom of the pile
0:50Give up acting unaware
0:53You can't ignore the crime
0:55The enemy is you as well
0:57The enemy is I
1:01Give it up
1:02Oh oh oh
1:06Give it up
1:07Oh oh oh
1:12Give it up
1:13Oh oh oh
1:17Give it up
1:19Oh oh oh
1:25Not in my name
1:28You don't speak for me
1:31I am my voice and I want to scream
1:36You want my air you want my life
1:42I act as one but I'm not alone
1:46Oh oh oh
1:51Give it up
1:53Oh oh oh
1:56Give it up
1:58Oh oh oh
2:02Give it up
2:04Oh oh oh
2:07Give it up
2:10Oh oh oh
2:13Give it up
2:14Oh oh oh
I came up like everyone They taught us all the same I said what they told me to say And then from that they grade Give up repeating the facts But that could be arranged Here I am I'll take my chance Now play the record straight Give it up Oh oh oh Give it up Oh oh oh Talking points from talking heads With automative smiles There's no higher ground to stand Than bottom of the pile Give up acting unaware You can't ignore the crime The enemy is you as well The enemy is I Give it up Oh oh oh Give it up Oh oh oh Give it up Oh oh oh Give it up Oh oh oh Not in my name You don't speak for me I am my voice and I want to scream You want my air you want my life I act as one but I'm not alone Oh oh oh Give it up Oh oh oh Give it up Oh oh oh Give it up Oh oh oh Give it up Oh oh oh Give it up Oh oh oh
