Don’t Believe

Don't believe what you see.

Don't believe what you read.

Don't believe the TV,

‘Cause there's nothing that's real.

Listen up, I'm talking to you.

It ain't a revolution just to fight for the truth.

Don't believe what they say.

Don't believe what they sell.

Don't believe what they push.

It's all lies, can't you tell?

Listen up, I'm talking to you.

It ain't a revolution just to fight for the truth.

All right.

Let’s fight.

It’s time to get some answers;

Yeah, it’s time for a change.

You're either a solution or get out of the way.

Stand up and be counted and get into the game.

The truth we took for granted has been taken away.

What'd I say?

Don't believe what you hear.

Don't believe in their fear.

Don't believe they’re sincere,

'Cause they really don't care.

Listen up, I'm talking to you.

It ain't a revolution just to fight for the truth.

Don't believe that you’re safe.

Don't believe in their hate.

Don't believe in their game.

You're just a number to play.

Listen up, I'm talking to you.

It ain't a revolution just to fight for the truth.

🎼

Don't believe what they preach.

Don't believe what they teach.

Don't believe that you're free.

'Cause they're killing your dreams.

Listen up, I'm talking to you.

It ain't a revolution just to fight for the truth.

It’s time to get some answers;

Yeah, it’s time for a change.

You're either a solution or get out of the way.

Stand up and be counted and get into the game.

The truth we took for granted has been taken away.

What'd I say?

Don't believe what you see.

Don't believe what you read.

Don't believe in their pills, 

‘Cause they’re all made to kill.

Listen up, I'm talking to you.

It ain't a revolution just to fight for the truth.
