I walked into battle
And I knew my cause was just
I still felt like a hero
As I dropped down in the dust
But as the lies grew bigger
Something tripped my trigger
And a conflict arose
That I could not resolve
Even though we're fine
Upstanding and strong
Most of us don't even know
Which side we're supposed to be on
Deactivate autoslave
Let them hear what you've got to say
Don't wait one more day
Deactivate autoslave
And walk away
I walked like a winner
With a blindfold round my head
My hands tied behind me
And my jackboots filled with lead
Set to automatic
And attracting the static
And relinquishing hold
Of what I could not control
Even though we're bold
Bombastic and strong
Most of us don't even know
Which side we're supposed to be on
Deactivate autoslave
Let them hear what you've got to say
Don't wait one more day
Deactivate autoslave
And walk away [x2]
We'll do anything to fit in
And to feel we belong
But most of us don't even know
Which side we're supposed to be on
Deactivate autoslave
Let them hear what you've got to say
Don't wait one more day
Deactivate autoslave
And walk away [x2]
