Lyrics

They don't want us to be who we're supposed to be
But we are who we are
And that's the way that it's going to be
They don't want to see the further proof
And it's hard to find it hidden right in front of you
Oh we, oh we
And they're showing us to fight for every struggle
Never ever let them put you in a bubble
And the brimstone will rain from our fire
Tell me if that is what you desire
Control, control, control
Control, control, control
They want control of we
And they want control over me
Over me
We'll keep on surviving
They keep on fighting us down
But we'll keep on surviving
Even though they push to the ground
We'll keep on surviving
They keep on fighting us down
They don't want us to be who we're supposed to be
But we are who we are
And that's the way that it's going to be
They don't want to see the further proof
And it's hard to find it hidden right in front of you
Oh we, oh we
And they're showing us to fight for every struggle
Never ever let them put you in a bubble
And the brimstone will rain from our fire
Tell me if that is what you desire
Control, control, control
Control, control, control
They want control of we
And they want control over me
Over me
We'll keep on surviving
They keep on fighting us down
But we'll keep on surviving
Even though they push to the ground
We'll keep on surviving
They keep on fighting us down
And they're showing us to fight for every struggle
Never ever let them put you in a bubble
And the brimstone will rain from our fire
Tell me if that is what you desire
Control, control, control
Control, control, control
They want control of we
And they want control over me
Over me
Control, control, control
Control, control, control
They want control of we
And they want control over me
Over me
We'll keep on surviving
They keep on fighting us down
But we'll keep on surviving
Even though they push to the ground
We'll keep on surviving
They keep on fighting us down
