Lyrics

[Intro - A little child, a little girl talking to her mummy sounding extremely scared, worried, confused and upset] " Mummy, why are people always hurting each other on TV? Daddy, why is that man shouting at the other man about not believing in the same god, what makes their's so much better, I thought that god was to make people happy?" [ The little girl talking gets more upset and starts crying as she speaks her last sentence to her mummy and daddy]" Mummy, Daddy, why do those other little kids on the Tele look really really pourly and hungry? Why doesn't their mummy go to the shops and buy them some food, Why are people setting fires to things, who is that man, he's talking funny, I don't understand him, does he not understand the alphabet? I'm really scared, that man frightens me. Daddy....... Is anyone coming to save us........ Are we really on our own? " You are all sheep You are all blind Open the books Read the signs They built the maze Then drew the lines [Chorus] Open your eyes, open your eyes ( open your eyes) Don’ t let them keep you blind Open your eyes, open your eyes They’ ve been selling you the lie Open your eyes, open your eyes ( open your They sell you safe with a poison smile Then call you crazy if you ask why From the schoolhouse gate to the TV glow It’ s the same old script, it’ s a rigged-up show [Pre-Chorus] Look again Look twice What they hide Ain’ t nice Open the books Read the signs They built the maze Then drew the lines [Chorus] Open your eyes, open your eyes ( open your eyes) Don’ t let them keep you blind Open your eyes, open your eyes They’ ve been selling you the lie Open your eyes, open your eyes ( open your eyes) Break through the painted haze Open your eyes, open your eyes You were made for more than cages [Verse 2] They split the crowd with a holy flame Then feed the hate and call it fate Wars in the name of a golden cause While the same hands clap for the body count They lace the water, they dress the meal Then tell you it’ s good, tell you how to feel Every warning sign in the rearview glass Still they grin and say “ that’ ll never last” [Pre-Chorus] Look again Look twice What they hide Ain’ t nice Open the books Read the signs They built the maze Then drew the lines [Chorus] Open your eyes, open your eyes ( open your eyes) Don’ t let them keep you blind Open your eyes, open your eyes They’ ve been selling you the lie Open your eyes, open your eyes ( open yo [Verse 1] They feed you fear in a glass of truth Wrap up the lie in a shiny suit Say “ trust the system,” keep your head down low While they pull the strings you’ ll never know They sell you safe with a poison smile Then call you crazy if you ask why From the schoolhouse gate to the TV glow It’ s the same old script, it’ s a rigged-up show [Pre-Chorus] Look again Look twice What they hide Ain’ t nice Open the books Read the signs They built the maze Then drew the lines [Chorus] Open your eyes, open your eyes ( open your eyes) Don’ t let them keep you blind Open your eyes, open your eyes ( open your eyes) Don’ t let them keep you blind Open your eyes, open your eyes They’ ve been selling you the lie Open your eyes, open your eyes ( open your eyes) Break through the painted haze Open your eyes, open your eyes You were made for more than cages [Verse 2] They split the crowd with a holy flame Then feed the hate and call it fate Wars in the name of a golden cause While the same hands clap for the body count They lace the water, they dress the meal Then tell you it’ s good, tell you how to feel Every warning sign in the rearview glass Still they grin and say “ that’ ll never last” [Pre-Chorus] Look again Look twice What they hide Ain’ t nice Open the books Read the signs They built the maze Then drew the lines [Chorus] Open your eyes, open your eyes ( open your eyes) Don’ t let them keep you blind Open your eyes, open your eyes They’ ve been selling you the lie Open your eyes, open your eyes ( open your eyes) Break through the painted haze Open your eyes, open your eyes You were made for more than cages [Bridge] Do your own research Question the frame If every answer’ s clean, who made the stain? They want you tired They want you small But your mind is a fire they can’ t cull [Final Chorus] Open your eyes, open your eyes ( open your eyes) Don’ t let them keep you blind Open your eyes, open your eyes They’ ve been selling you the lie Open your eyes, open your eyes ( open your eyes) Break through the painted haze Open your eyes, open your eyes You were made for more than cages [Outro] Open your eyes Look properly Open your eyes Don’ t sleep on history [Outro] Open your eyes Look properly
