They tell us not to cry, the pain is only temporary
Without pain, we have no reward, so they will say
But they are fools, we are their coal mine's canary
They are hunters, we should refuse to be their prey
Our world is a machine, that functions on a theory
For one to gain, another must be chased and slain
I refuse, kill me now, I will not be made complicit
For a machine killing the innocent, our throats slit
Refuse all of their entreaties and never surrender
You have a right to die in your own time and date
You've a right to keep your dignity and remember
Every soul is equal, worth doesn't come from gold
You've a right no matter the cost to truly grow old
