If we all stood up to be entirely us, entirely free
How would our society survive itself eventually?
And if we all stood up today to fight the walls inside our heads
How would our society be? We'll never see

'Cause we restrict ourselves inside our heads
We socialize ourselves until we're dead
We'll never be ourselves and that's a fact
'Cause we just can't see

This life to me is like a flower, like a tree
You cut your roots, you think you're free
This life you'll see just like flower, like a tree
If you cut your roots, you will no longer be

If we all came to agree to live our lives in harmony
And to defy reality, how would it change our destiny?
If we all were free to choose, if we're to win or we're to lose
How would our society be? We'll never see

'Cause we restrict ourselves inside our heads
We socialize ourselves until we're dead
We'll never be ourselves and that's a fact
Because we're so afraid

We're born in this world
To be another part of this society
With no room at all for us to be
What we had hoped to be

Restrict ourselves inside our heads
We socialize until we're dead
We can't be free and that's a fact
