Used to be the smile that you couldn't trust
Now it's the screaming that's keeping you up
Which will it be, the empire or anarchy
Why can't we be free without some hint of slavery
So which will it be the arm or the leg
Oh they'll pull you to pieces till nothing remains
And you can't believe in yourself for much longer
Oh why must I choose (Why must I choose) one or the other
I know that I'm trapped by disorder, backed in the corner
Now I'm bleeding out but I'm still in the corner
Which will it be
Why can't we be free
Used to be the smile that you couldn't trust
Now it's the screaming that's keeping you up
