Lifecycles and planned obsolescence A perfect trap disguised as assistance It takes the pain away It takes the pain away Control the sentience of the masses Relief replaced with silent disaster But I won't fade away No, I won't fade away I defy, this hopelessness I defy, your callousness I defy, irreverent, I will rise I see through your disguise, and all your lies I defy A numbing cure for the common existence Replace security for subsistence It takes the pain away It takes the pain away Victimize, enable, beguile A body count without a reprisal But I won't fade away No, I won't fade away I defy, this hopelessness I defy, your callousness I defy, irreverent, I will rise I see through your disguise, and all your lies I defy Sometimes the pain of life's too much to mitigate But I refuse to march into an early grave But I refuse to march into an early grave! I defy, this hopelessness I defy, your callousness I defy, irreverent, I will rise I see through your disguise, and all your lies I defy Defy! Defy! Defy! I Defy!
