A pawn of Babylon, I got to face the facts, embrace the axe 
Dm               Gm               C 
And cut these chains of my sorrow 

(Dm       Gm        C) 
10,000 years of captivity, we must eventually open up our eyes and see 
They're manipulating we. With so much uncertainty and so many mysteries, 
Why are so few questioning the unnatural state of things. 
It's a nightmare, we're living in a nightmare, everyone's living so scared 
They're virtually unaware of this fear that rules their lives, occupies, consumes their minds 
This fear of bankruptcy, financial impotency. It's money, money , money. 
It's all this digital currency 
It's all this monopoly money that keeps us from ever being free. 
And so it seems we'll be in this prison for life 
Cause If we keep buying then they'll keep selling the lies 
And so it's up to I & I 

(Pausa) 
 
I won't be manipulated, mind-controlled and inundated, 
 
I will seek the revelation, make my life a celebration. 
I'm gonna be the change I'm seeking, manifest the words I'm speaking 
I refuse to be imprisoned I will make my own decisions  (x4) 
Dm 
I'll never go astray no 
     Gm          C                               Dm 
I'm leaving the past and forwarding fast cause freedom is here to stay. 
    Gm           C                          Dm 
We got to take back the knowledge, take back the power 
                                  Gm          C 
Take back what they have stolen from our hearts 
       Dm                                         Gm                      C 
Take back the esoteric knowledge, for too long they've been keeping us apart. 
Dm                                                 Gm 
We got to take back the knowledge, take back the power 
C                          Dm 
Humanity don't let this be our final hour
