All the names have been redacted.
All the news is just a scam
All my heroes have been murdered
And all my dreams are banned
All my thoughts are now illegal 
By the bloated king forbade
But I was born defiant
And I love to fight in the shade

Every hope I ever had’s  been shattered
Every cause I ever had is lost
All my wishes have been wished
And my prayers have all been prayed
‘cause I was born defiant
And I love to fight in the shade

All the questions have been censored
All the answers sound insane
Every film is propaganda
Every truth has been defamed
Every promise has been broken
Every innocent betrayed
But I was born defiant and
I love to fight in the shade

They’re ravaging the planet 
To finance the endless war
The rich keep getting richer 
While they blame it on the poor
They want you silent and compliant
But that’s not how I was made 
I was born defiant
And I love to fight in the shade.

Now they’re poisoning your children
While they’re locking down your mind
The future perfect citizen is
deaf and dumb and blind
They want you silent and compliant
But that’s not how I was made
I was born defiant
And I love to fight in the shade

I won’t be silent and compliant
That’s not how I was made
I was born defiant
And I love to fight in the shade
