lyrics

We are torn Battered and broken
We are torn A reality absurd
We are torn Hatred in clear view
We are torn A majority unheard

We are torn Divided and conquered
We are torn Like a burning wreck
We are torn Picking up the pieces
We are torn A country in distress

There’s no difference between the truth and the lies they say
And we’re told to believe them no matter what they say
Media are just pawns in the games they play
Pushing their agenda to our dismay

We are torn Divided and conquered
We are torn A reality absurd
We are torn Picking up the pieces
We are torn A majority unheard

We come together in rooms like this
Every night all across this country
In direct defiance of the controllers
In direct defiance of the way they think

Direct defiance
