There's so much out there to bring you down   Self inflicted fate tears you to the ground   Got to use your head to stay on your feet   Before you get sucked in, victim of defeat   Life moves so fast it's all a fucking blur   And I'm still searching for peace   But where you're looking man, you're never going to find   These short-term cures cloud your mind      In the ways of the world today   It's so easy to stray away   You've got to free your mind      Nothing you have is permanent   Just like your dreams it fades away   But it's the perfect disguise for your hollow life   Jealousy and greed clouds your eyes   You look down on me with your closed mind   I've seen so many of your kind   So caught up, it's a waste of your own time   You can make a change or get left behind      In the ways of the world today   It's so easy to stray away   You've got to free your mind   From the world that keeps us blind      Got to free your mind from what destroys before there's no way back   Got to free your mind from a world of confusion that holds us back   Got to free your mind   From what destroys
