I said you can if you want to
I said you can if you want to, you want to so you can
Those who rule our world are incompetent
Why ask for permission, why obey, wait
Why waste time, we've wanted long enough
Obviously something must happen soon
At a furious pace they've worn down our globe
They've turned dreams to ash and soot
And he who obeys the idiot is an idiot himself
Fastens a shackle around his own foot
So talk back and find strength within
The madmen's greenhouse makes people smaller
So scared, screwed, misled
Controlled, watched but never seen
Forced upon us, no real us
Controlled by someone else, not truly free
High time to stop waiting, turn thoughts into action
The thought keeps the doors closed
I said you can if you want to, you want to so you can
I said you can if you want to, you want to so you can
Dare to want, dare to ask, know your own ability
So what the f*ck, stop whining, quit talking so much sh*t
You're way too good for nagging and complaining to be your thing
Get rid of your yokes and chains and feel how strong you are
Write your own book and build forges for every good idea
Protest, criticize, sing, scream, talk, discuss
Roar, paint, initiate, passion for water and bread for more people
Light fires where you see darkness, you can handle it 'cause you never get tired
Turn around when you get stuck, water where it's dry, scream when you see red
Make your own constructions in authority-free zones
Your own legions, love soldiers with cannons
And forget windmills and millions of illusions
Spreading joy, shooting tones, reality from visions
Your own idea was good, so make it real
Let your feeling give you courage and make your neighbor your friend
You better do it now, 'cause your time is now and not later
Best that you are you and you can do it again
I said you can if you want to, you want to so you can
I said you can if you want to, you want to so you can
Of course you can, of course you can
So many 'musts', are they really yours?
Many take others' and make them their own
Stressed, rushing for someone else's sake
Who's never there when you fall over
And need support, just takes your passion
Makes it their own, lives in abundance
Don't live dead, collect things you never had time for
You can if you want to, you want to so you can
The only thing I see are closed doors there
For us who want more than to build a career
Search within yourself 'cause they're teaching lies
They're playing with fire and low desires
Strive in love with the friend beside you
You can and I can, together we can do more
Forward like a fire, from the heat we become more
I said you can if you want to, you want to so you can
Of course you can, of course you can, of course you can make the dream come true
I said you can if you want to, you want to so you can
Let them see you've got f*cking more to give
