I don't belong here
This place it ain't for me
Surrounded by others
With their ignorance and bigotry
Nationalism
A sign of fear and insecurity
When a love for a homeland
Turns into stupidity
I don't belong in this
Blinkered community
Where people hang on to
A world that used to be
No I don't belong here
This place just ain't for me
I don't want to be a part of
This narrow minded society
I know we want equality
But there are too many who don't agree
People take comfort in norms
Stability, familiarity
Change, I know, it can bring fear
As shackles of the past are lost
But these hard won freedoms
They can only come at a tough cost
How can we relate to the ones who don't feel the same?
How can we reach out to the ones who don't feel the same?
And what should we do with the ones who don't feel the same?
What should we do with the ones who don't feel the same?
Ignore them?
Discount them?
Tolerate them?
Disregard them?
Disobey them?
Counteract them?
Cultivate them?
Educate them?
What should we do with the ones who don't feel the same?
What should we do with the ones who don't feel the same?
What should we do with the ones who don't feel the same?
What should we do with the ones who don't feel the same?

A Prisoner of This World
03:54

A prisoner of conscience
A prisoner of war
Tortured to death
A prisoner no more
A prisoner of faith
A prisoner of truth
A prisoner of religion
Imprisoned from above
We're held captive by doubt and the fear of the unknown
Real freedom is so hard to achieve
We're controlled by this burden of self-deception
Mass-conscious thought is what we are led to believe
A prisoner from birth
A prisoner through school
A prisoner at work
A prisoner taught to conform and follow suit
A prisoner of culture
A prisoner of society
A prisoner prisoner of religion
A prisoner of an instilled belief
We're imprisoned by doubt and the fear of the unknown
Real freedom is so hard to achieve
We're controlled by this burden of self-deception
Mass-conscious thought is what we are led to believe
A prisoner of love
A prisoner of hope
A prisoner of expectation
Imprisoned by rejection, we live alone
A prisoner of conscience
A prisoner of this world
A prisoner of religion
A prisoner of this world
A prisoner of mass-conscience
A prisoner of this world
A prisoner of culture
A prisoner of this world
A prisoner of our own mind
A prisoner of this world
