Breaking down again, do you feel alone,
Have you got nobody left to turn to,
Is this world just there to hurt you,
You don't have to be alone,
Cos there's a million more that feel the same,
and each one's just a victim in this game,
This world's just not designed,
For people with a certain mind,
And anyone caught struggling will get sedated,
By the ones with PHDs,
They'll make you feel like you're diseased,
Don't let 'em get inside your head,
Don't let 'em get inside your head,
Don't let 'em get the best of you,
Don't let 'em bring you down,
Don't let 'em get the best of you,
Don't let the bastards keep you down,
You're not alone, you can't help how you feel,
This pain is real, it's hard to deal,
With anyone around you,
When ignorance and lies surround you,
Oh, look, new medication,
Goodbye dreams and motivation,
Mind control through mass sedation,
Looks like it's time to up your dose.
and now they've got the upper hand,
Their plan is working like a charm,
No harm in wasting all your time,
Looks like it's time to fall in line,
It's a breakdown,
Just a metaphorical shakedown,
Mine come from living in K-Town,
I'm trapped and I can't get out,
and I'm doing the same thing every day,
I can't help thinking there's no other way,
I can't help thinking that I can't be saved,
I can't help drinking, and smoking,
and taking any substances put in front of me,
Tell me do you feel the same?
Don't let 'em tell you that you're broke; it's a joke,
It's enough to make a difference, it's enough to make ya choke,
and now you're chokin' on your meds, as your mind fills with dread,
and all those stupid little thoughts start to populate your head,
Now you're searching for an answer in a box of pharmaceuticals,
A couple more months and you'll be forced into a ritual,
and break the trend and you'll get the shakes,
Cos every step you take, feels like an earthquake,
Don't let 'em get inside your mind,
Don't let 'em get inside your mind,
Don't let 'em say you're broken,
You're just a fucking human being,
Don't let 'em get inside your mind,
Oh fuck,
They've got you feeling all fucked up,
and now you feel you're losing touch,
and now you're taking way too much,
Enough's enough, (well)
Don't say I didn't tell you,
Don't say I didn't warn you,
Don't let anyone with half a brain diagnose you,
You've got to realise that everyone's a little broken,
The ones who say they're not,
Well, they're the ones who rule us all.
