Oh Lord, I’m on a permanent holiday,
I’m going outside to play,
I ain’t gonna slave away...
Not for no corporate Babylon,
I’m never gonna be a pawn
In their manipulation games

Oh Lord I’m taking the reins,
I’m breaking the chains,
I’m never gonna kneel, no way...
My prophet is Heaven-sent,
No preacher or president can lead I astray,
They’ll never know,
I’m taking Jah highway home
Oh I’ve got my-my-my-my
Own path to follow
Don’t know if you’ll overstand,
I’ve got my-my-my-my-my-my-my own truth to swallow
And you know that if I could you know I would throw my guitar on my back, pick up the slack, and leave here tomorrow
But I know that I am a pawn of Babylon I got to face the facts, embrace the axe, and cut these chains off my sorrow...

So I’m on a permanent holiday,
I’m going outside to play,
I ain’t gonna slave away, no, not for no corporate babylon
I’m never gonna be a pawn in their manipulation games

Ten thousand years of captivity,
We must eventually,
Open up our eyes and see they’re manipulating we
With so much uncertainty,
And so many mysteries,
Why are so few questioning the unnatural state of things?
It’s a nightmare,
We’re living in a nightmare,
Everyone’s living so scared
They’re virtually unaware
Of this fear that rules their lives
Occupies, consumes their minds
This fear of bankruptcy
Financial impotency,
It’s funny money, money, money...
It’s all this digital currency, woah yeah
It’s all this monopoly money
That keeps us from ever being free... Oh-oh-oh-ohhh...

And so it seems we’ll be in this prison for life
’cause if we keep buying then they’ll keep selling the lie
So it’s up to I and I…

I- , -nip, mind-, in- ,
I-, Rev-, make, cel-,
I-, change, man-, words,
I-, be, I, own,

I-, (be), -nip (-lated), mind (-trolled), in- (-date),
I-, (seek), Rev (late), make, (life), cel- (-bration),
I-, (be) change, (seek), man-(-fest), words, (speak),
I-, (-fuse), be, (-pris) I, (make), own, (-cis)

I won’t be manipulated, mind-controlled, and inundated
I will seek the Revelation, make my life a celebration
I will be the change I’m seeking, manifest the words I’m speaking
I refuse to be imprisoned. I will make my own decisions

Ohh Lord, I won’t be manipulated, mind-controlled, and inundated
I will seek the Revelation, make my life a celebration
I will be the change I’m seeking, manifest the words I’m speaking
I refuse to be imprisoned. I will make my own decisions

I’m on a permanent holiday
I’m going outside to play
I ain’t gonna slave away
Not for no corporate babylon
I’m never gonna be a pawn in their manipulation games

Oh Lord I’m taking the reins
I’m breaking the chains
I’m never gonna kneel, no way
My prophet is Heaven sent
No preacher or president can lead I astray
They’ll never know. I’m taking Jah highway home

I’ll never go astray
I’m leaving the past
And forwarding fast
’cause freedom is here to stay

Oh Lord we got to take back the knowledge
We got to take back the power
We got to take back the knowledge
We got to take back the power
We got to take back the knowledge
To take back the power
Take back what they have stolen from our hearts
And we got to take back the esoteric knowledge
Ohh Lord for too long they’ve been keeping us apart
Ohh yes, we got to take back the knowledge, take back the power, humanity don’t let this be our final hour

Take back the knowledge, take back the power, humanity don’t let this be our final hour. (x7)

Take back the knowledge
Take back the power

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
