    Story Behind the Song
    We think we're free. But with so much pressure to do what "They" tell you, and to listen to whatever "They" say and take it as the ultimate truth, I often doubt whether we're allowing ourselves to be free at all.

    Lyrics
    look around you, thinkin you're free, what do you see

    look around you, all you see is riches
    the channel switches, it's dark, with the trash dumped in ditches
    this ain't real, flip your channels again
    see more debates on the state of your local government
    as if it matters, I got bigger matters to shatter
    with the illusions of perfection, we're losin direction,
    matters of the mind and matters of the heart are too far apart
    we gotta take part in the fine art of accepting that perfection is rare, if existent
    and that every move we make is ruled over by the system,
    we built it, we felt it was needed to ensure,
    that the few remained to seal the exit door

    look around you,
    look around you, thinkin you're free, what do you see

    look around you, thinkin you can do no wrong
    the media's on, the coverage of everything gone wrong
    but nothing we know, comes even close to the truth
    mixed messages, distortions and lies to feed the minds of youth
    ...so how close are we to goin anywhere we wanna go, we wanna know
    the truth, but then we'd just laugh at it, and show
    that we couldn't deal with world issues bigger than your neighbourhood fashion addicts

    look around you
    look around you, thinkin you're free, what do you see

    look around yourself, and judge the people there
    you think you're in the perfect paradise, but you're nowhere
    no one can tell me how to live, and I don't care
    i do what i like, not what's cool, so don't go there
    i know there's got to be, more than one way to live
    but no one has the time to give
    caught in a treadmill
    and your head's filled with lies,
    and televised pictures that we love and despise
    at the same time, they'd say it's too late to climb
    put the nation on prozac, with artificial plastic shine
    so whatcha gonna do about this situation,
    you gonna let it go, or are you gonna stand facin

    look around you, thinkin you're free, what do you see

    look around you, thinkin you're free, what do you see
    look around you, think you're free, what do you see
    look around you, thinkin you're free, what can you see
    look around you, thinkin you're free
