Welcome to the strangest days,
Say hello to the new normal, its here.
Fractured unity still plays,
Say goodbye to the old formal, revere.
All the things prioritised and all the stars we idolised
Seem stupid now.
Forced to survive on our own with little more than mobile phones
For company and news, its company we choose.
This is hero, this is hero hour
This is hero, this is hero hour
This is hero, this is hero hour
Re-choose your hero now

Get up, don't stand down,
It's time, to turn it round,
Now you got mud on your face,

Don't take, no shhhh,
Stand tall, don't quit,
It's time that you take your place!

Chorus
It's time to take a hold, (be bold!)
You gotta do this on your own, (take hold!)
There's no one coming to your aid, don't be afraid, to be bold (be bold!)
It's time to take a hold (take hold!)

Verse 2
Knocked down, in round one
Fists up, or your done,
It's time to punch through the pain, yeah

Chorus
It's time to take a hold, (be bold!)
You gotta do this on your own, (take hold!)
There's no one coming to your aid, don't be afraid, to be bold (be bold!)
It's time to take a hold (take hold!)

Chorus
It's time to take a hold, (be bold!)
You gotta do this on your own, (take hold!)
There's no one coming to your aid, don't be afraid, to be bold (be bold!)
It's time to take a hold (take hold!)
Outro
Be Bold, Take Hold!

Knowledge is a burden, Ignorance will bring me peace
Knowledge is a burden and grey matter tastes so bitter
Knowledge is a burden, Ignorance will bring me peace
Knowledge is a burden, it shatters my fucking inner piece

Every morning I get horror, war, rape
Slaughter, gore, hate, it's more than I can take
I get a sore heart and a headache thinking of such poor fates
So I finish my coffee and just walk away

Close my eyes
Close my eyes, play it blind, face to problems I can't solve I don't mind
Me, myself, and I

I see it all happen, standing within the walls of freedom
I see that venom runs through the veins of this global kingdom
I see it all happen, Sugarman, won't you hit me with another blue pill
End my sorrow, I won't follow any rabbits, won't crawl
Down any fucking burrow
I won’t crawl down any burrow

I just want to live in this concrete paradise
Under a constellation of electric eyes, I was made to shine
I don't mind being spied; I have nothing to hide
I play the game by the rules and the game plays me for a fool
I play the game by the rules, the game plays me for a fool
I play the game by the rules, but the game plays me
