lyrics

Advertising lies
To train the mind of a nation
Subverting reason
Superseded with perceived complications

They conquer the divided
Awaken to survive

Be the change you wish to see
Have a mind of your own
Seek to question everything
Have a mind of your own
Don't be confined
Be self-defined
Have a mind of your own

Talking heads on media screens
We'll never fly on a right or left wing
False smoke and sleight of hand
Clouds our view of understanding

Clear the air with reason
Perceive with open arms

Be the change you wish to see
Have a mind of your own
Seek to question everything
Have a mind of your own
Don't be confined
Be self-defined
Have a mind of your own

No one else can make you see the light
It's up to you to look inside

Be the change you wish to see
Have a mind of your own
Seek to question everything
Have a mind of your own
Don't be confined
Be self-defined
Have a mind of your own
