Facelift Lyrics - Pretend I'm Human - Orange 9mm

Judging generations, hating at the speed of light 

What my grandfather seen was a fright 

Should I blame all of you who don't look just like me 

Walk just like me, talk just like me? 

For associations and bloodlines to the droppers of lightning 

Burn up the treaty unwritten, past forgiven 

Now ask their children, are we cool? 

Or are we still wearing the same shoes 

As I bop my head to today's news 

Changed views, strange clues millennium cues 

Invade the minds of us, struggle to push thought through 

From behind the rush of crush grooves 

Right now, I speak with you, all new thought starts with few 

And spreads itself like flu, to those receptive to new versions of the truth 

Right now, I give just one to you 

Anyone can say anything and confuse it 

What would you really say facing the music? 

Pinned down, no choice to make, we are the bruises 

The world's changing it's face through music 

Judging generations, misunderstandings 

Criminals demanding to keep people in cages 

From slavery to cocaine bids 

I said criminal, subliminal society 

What I speak, when I say that might surprise thee 

I mean, the power people beyond the reach 

Of life's coliseum-like fight to the death mentality 

Same rule applies, corporate jails make cash from your deflated sails 

If you can't afford to post bail 

Stock options rise if poverty helps you fail 

We're not far from having someone we're forced to hail 

And that would be a living hell 

Anyone can say anything and confuse it 

What would you really say facing the music? 

Pinned down, no choice to make, we are the bruises 

The world's changing it's face through music 

Anyone can say anything and confuse it 

What would you really say facing the music? 

Pinned down, no choice to make, we are the bruises 

The world's changing it's face through music 

Changing it's face through music, changing it's face through music 

Understand you, understand me 

I'll understand you if you understand me 

Understand you, understand me 

I'll understand you if you understand me 

Judging generations, realize you can flip your thoughts 

In thirty years, sons and daughter might feel lost 

If they played this back, the same way shame grabs you 

Drop of a hat, if I mention a cruel fact 

Now you know you can fight back 

You could do it out of respect, keep our past in check 

Bull-heading to the future, find sutures 

The world's a gaping wound, we're the losers 

Sooner or later drop death on neighbors 

Our saviors are ourselves 

I can't hate you, we share the earth 

I need you, you need me 

Otherwise we're casualties 

Dinosaurs part two, tragedy 

Anyone can say anything and confuse it 

What would you really say facing the music? 

Pinned down, no choice to make, we are the bruises 

The world's changing it's face through music 

Anyone can say anything and confuse it 

What would you really say facing the music? 

Pinned down, no choice to make, we are the bruises 

The world's changing it's face through music 

Changing it's face through music, changing it's face through music
