Lyrics

Mainstream View

Always cared about everyone else
to scared to be yourself
Never spoke up never stand up
was just another face in the crowd
but now the time has come to see straight
as another riot breaks loose
they try to cover their tracks
so this story won't make the news

Don't live your life like the TV says
Just carry on with no regrets
Gotta get away from the mainstream view
couse it's clowly killing you!

Everyday there's another lie
more stories are left untold
The upper class sit behind their desks
like the real worlds just on hold
Do you believe everything that you read
Do you believe everything that you see
Cause I've got a feeling you're in medias reality
