I was taught to find the answers on my own  Brought up punk rock taught to question all and break the mold  All you have in life is everything you hold inside  It's hard to play along once the real truth has been realized  All my life I knew there was better way  All this time you spent and kept it locked away  All my life I knew we had a long way to go  We have a long way to go  Whooa whoa - we got a long way to go  Long way to go  There comes a time  When every soul must face oneself  Stand on your own  Conditioned thoughts get thrown right out  It's like a cleansing or exposing of reality  Once you realize everything's affecting everything  All my life I knew there was better way  All this time you spent and kept it locked away  All my life I knew we had a long way to go  Yeah yeah yeah!  They say it's me that's wrong  My thoughts they don't belong  My ways are dead and gone  And all I have are freedom songs  I just don't think their way  Don't like the words they say  The way they operate  Manipulate and spread their hate  I just don't think their way  Don't like the words they say  We have a long way to go  Whooa – whoa we have a long way to go  Long way to go  I was taught to find the answers on my own  Brought up punk rock taught to question all and break the mold  This life is planned and exposing a reality  Once you realize everything's affecting everything  All my life I knew there was better way  All this time you spent and kept it locked away  All my life I knew we had a long way to go  Yeah yeah yeah Yeah!  They say it's me that's wrong  My thoughts they don't belong  My ways are dead and gone  And all I have are freedom songs  I just don't think their way  Don't like the words they say  The way they operate  Manipulate and spread their hate  They say it's me that's wrong  My thoughts they don't belong  My ways are dead and gone  And all I have are freedom songs  I just don't think their way  Don't like the words they say  We have a long way to go  Whooa whoa – we have a long way to go  Long way to go
