Can't Say No Lyrics
Captivate, cultivate, relegate and chalk it up to the basic needs
Dissipate, isolate, these days you can't run or believe all that you read
And all the kids with the download brainwaves
Holding up signs saying "guns kill, god saves"
And all in the form of the faceless news cast
Commercials, they say live well but die fast
Even if you wanted to
Even if you could, oh-oh
You can't say no
Even if you wanted to
Even if you could, oh-oh
You can't say no
Calculate, consecrate, elevate it, give it up to reality
Distillate, venerate, these days you can't feel or concieve all that you see
And all the kids with the soundbyte slave chains
Choking up lines playing who's-who mind games
All in the spell of the speechless redress
Commercials that say take more but give less
Even if you wanted to
Even if you could, oh-oh
You can't say no
Even if you wanted to
Even if you could, oh-oh
You can't say no
Confident keepers of many left wondering
Desolate dreamers with heads caught up in the sway
Obstinate heeders of organized ignorance
Making up rules for the mute and the willing
But all the kids that are raised in the freefall
And from the silence of a pacified strip mall
They pay the wage with their dollars of gravity
On their bedside, oh, my conscience calls to me
Even if you wanted to
Even if you could, oh-oh
You can't say no
Even if you wanted to
Even if you could, oh-oh
You can't say no
Dissipate, isolate, these days you can't run or believe all that you read
And all the kids with the download brainwaves
Holding up signs saying "guns kill, god saves"
And all in the form of the faceless news cast
Commercials, they say live well but die fast
Even if you could, oh-oh
You can't say no
Even if you could, oh-oh
You can't say no
Distillate, venerate, these days you can't feel or concieve all that you see
And all the kids with the soundbyte slave chains
Choking up lines playing who's-who mind games
All in the spell of the speechless redress
Commercials that say take more but give less
Even if you could, oh-oh
You can't say no
Even if you could, oh-oh
You can't say no
Desolate dreamers with heads caught up in the sway
Obstinate heeders of organized ignorance
Making up rules for the mute and the willing
But all the kids that are raised in the freefall
And from the silence of a pacified strip mall
They pay the wage with their dollars of gravity
On their bedside, oh, my conscience calls to me
Even if you could, oh-oh
You can't say no
Even if you could, oh-oh
You can't say no

Wow! What a perfect song for the sensory overload times that we live in. These guys don't get enough credit but mark my words, the Helio will get their say!
I bought this digitally so I haven't a booklet to check the lyrics, but to me the lyrics originally posted are more accurate than Calebdaguy's. Noble attempt though.
...but I must say, it's got to be 'guns kill, god saves'
I mean that is such a well written line.
I couldnt agree with you more. Definitely "Guns kill, God saves" such a great line

I assume this is not from a lyrics booklet... I attempted transcribing this song too, I got this: Calculate, cultivate rather gate it, chock it up to the basic needs. Dissipate, isolate these days you cannot believe all that you read. And all the kids, with the download brainwaves Holding up signs, saying "Guns kill, gods sakes" And all in the form of the faceless newscast. Commercials, they say, live well but die fast.
Even if you wanted to, even if you could oh-oh You can't say no (x2)
Calculate, come to create, elevate it Give it up to reality Distill, invigorate these days you can feel there comes evil that you see And all the kids, with the soundbyte hang chains, choking up lines playing "Whose, who right?" games
And all with the spell of the speechless redress, commercials, they say, take more but give less.
Even if you wanted to, even if you could oh-oh You can't say no (x2)
Confident keepers of, many left wondering, desolate dreamers with heads caught up in the sway, Obstinent healers of organized ignorance, making up rules for the mute and the will-less And all the kids that are raised in the freefall, and from the silence with pacified stretch marks. They hit an age with the dollars of gravity, on their bedside, on my conscience costs me
Even if you wanted to, even if you could oh-oh You can't say no (x2) You can't say no.. (x3)
@Calebdaguy I think it my be obstinate heeders of organized ignorance.

Love this song. I reckon it is 'download brainwaves', though.
