Story behind the song
About growing up, not being able to question the things you are indoctrinated with, and when you are older doubts start to creep in.
Lyrics
School halls echo, "trust in the state" Heroes painted, in a history that they create Told we're free, just play by their game Don't question, don't disrupt, just stay tame Raised under the cross, sharp as barbed wire Told to kneel and kiss the ring of holy liars Sunday sermons, drowning in fear "Swallow the creed, don't let doubt near!" Break the chains, crack the bell We're not buying what they sell Rip it up, from the ground Free the truth from where it's bound Years stack up, doubts start to scream Cracks in the portrait of the American dream What's preached ain't what's seen, it's a twisted faith A dance with devils, disguised as wraiths Then one night, under the glow of the screen George Carlin spoke, slicing through the serene Laughing in the face of the farce we're fed "Question everything," that's what he said A voice in the static, cutting through the night Unveiling the lies, setting my mind alight In a world so rotten from inside the core Found my voice in the uproar Break the chains, crack the bell We're not buying what they sell Rip it up, from the ground Free the truth from where it's bound So here's to the rebels, with the courage to defy We won't quiet down, won't comply To the roots of deceit, we light the fire With a punk heart, our undying pyre Break the chains, crack the bell We're not buying what they sell Rip it up, from the ground Find the truth, where it's bound Laughed with George in the dead of night His truth my armor, my endless fight The system's broken, we're the glue Punk's promise, forever true
