lyrics

Under the thumb of the status quo
Going against everything I know
And invalidating everything I've ever said
I really wanna make a difference
I've got the facts, but not the strength
To get these roles and rules out of my head
If I could take it in my hands and break it
Break!
You gotta know I would
I stand silent and keep it all inside
I let 'em set the guidelines for my life
And I fucking know better, no it's not right
But it's so simple just to flow along with them
I'm a good little penguin
I do what I'm told
I've bought in and I've been sold
What kind of message can I hope to send?
If I could take it in my hands and break it
Break!
You gotta know I would
I stand silent and keep it all inside
I never had a chance
The fight was over long before I ever knew it was down
And now I shake my tiny fists
Tryin' to convince myself that I've got it goin' on
If I could take it in my hands and break it
Break!
You gotta know I would
I stand silent and keep it all inside
