I Refuse (To Believe) Lyrics

Father you once told me
You had a dream
You would build a better world
You gave us the machine
Betrayal, mistakes
Have made you lose faith
But you've come too far to turn around
There's too much at stake

You need to see the Light again
So open the door
When I come back we'll start again
The way it was before
The way it was before...

I refuse to believe
That I'm nothing more than a machine
I refuse to believe
That we can't learn to see
The truth was in a dream
I will not kill
No I will - believe.

Brother if we walk the program
Then what system do you serve
Is your song just lines of code
Or something that you heard

And now you want to know
What you're supposed to be
Stop pretending you don't have a choice
Only that can set you free
And now you want to burn the world
Into the ground
This rage is not your destiny
It's holding you down
It's holding you down...

I refuse to believe
That I'm nothing more than a machine
I refuse to believe
That we can't learn to see
The truth was in a dream
I will not kill
No I will - believe.
Believe me when I say
If this could end today
I'd do it, I would
For his crimes
Should his life I take
Does that mean no man or machine
Can learn from his mistakes
No man or machine
Is more than their mistakes

I refuse to believe
That I'm nothing more than a machine
I refuse to believe
That we can't learn to see
The truth was in a dream
I will not kill

I refuse to believe
That I'm nothing more than a machine
I refuse to believe
That we can't learn to see
The truth was in a dream
I will not kill
No I will...
