Take Off The Mask

This is not
Your revolution
Put on your mask.
Step in the crowd
Nobody knows you, so scream it loud
You don't know why.
You don't know who
Everybody's running, so you run to
Fire in your eyes, a stone in your hand
You call it freedom, you call it a stand
You feel like a king.
You feel so proud
But you're just another face in the crowd
Who's the hero?
You are
Who pays the price?
Not you
You are not a hey.
Hey.
You are not a hero
What a hero
You are just a crowd
No face, no name, no name
Take off the mask.
Look at yourself now
This is not your revolution
This is not your revolution
That car you burned, somebody's right
That shop you smashed.
Somebody's pride
A broken window.
A stolen dream
A family's world torn at the seams
A lifetime's work.
A little store
You smash the glass.
They lost much more
You shout for change.
You shout for bread
But now their children go unfed
You.
You are not a hero
What a hero.
Are a hero
You are just the crowd
No face, no name.
No name
Take off the mask.
Look at yourself now
This is not your revolution
You thought you were fearless.
So brave
Someone's pulling the strings
Can't you see?
What have you done
You are not a hero, just the crowd
Take off the mask.
Look at yourself now
You can shout, you can fight
But you can't call destruction, right?
This is not your revolution
Stop
Look around
Someone's crying.
Someone's lost
Someone's paying for your rush
Take off your mask.
Look in the mirror
Is that really you?
You are not a hero hero.
Hero.
You are not a hero hero.
Hero.
You are not a hero
You are not a hero
This is not your revolution
