You know it’s hard to be yourself, free yourself to see yourself / When all around you there are lies just to get you, spies just to get you, to buy so they can get you / There are cameras in the sky, lasers in our living rooms / There are wolves watching wearing sheep’s costumes

It’s enough to make you go crazy (woah!), it’s enough to make you mad / It’s enough to make you go crazy (woah!), and I’m amazed I haven’t yet

Isn’t it a shame the way we cheat each other, treat each other, beat each other? / It’s a shame the way we use one other, abuse one another, and screw one another, it’s true / They will lock you up in prison but they won’t call it slavery / There are stolen children raised and trained in armies

It’s enough to make you go crazy (woah!), it’s enough to make you mad / It’s enough to make you go crazy (woah!), and I’m amazed I haven’t yet

Don’t hesitate to speak your mind (Speak your mind) / Never hesitate to speak your heart (Speak your heart) / They’ll call you crazy when you speak your mind (When you speak your mind) / So never, never hesitate (Never hesitate)

’Cause it’s enough to make you go crazy (woah!), it’s enough to make you mad / It’s enough to make you go crazy (woah!), and I’m amazed I haven’t yet

Na so dem go lock you for prison / Na so dem go beat you for prison / Dem no go call am slavery / Na im dey make me vex

Na so dem go lock you for prison / Na so dem go beat you for prison / Na im dey make me vex / Na im dey make me crase

It’s enough to make you go crazy (woah!), it’s enough to make you mad / It’s enough to make you go crazy (woah!), and I’d be crazy not to care
