So go ahead and build your concrete monument
Make'm high, make'm touch the sky
For I've learned how to breathe in your shadow
With a muted soul and a muffled cry

With a muted soul and a muffled cry
With a muted soul and a muffled cry!

My shoulder aches from carrying your throne
Something has died, and something has grown
In the lack of light for oh so long
What doesn't kill you makes you strong

What doesn't kill you makes you strong
What doesn't kill you makes you strong!

You've gotta think like us
You gotta be like us
And believe in what we say

You've gotta think like us
Just because
There is no other way

So here we are standing tall standing proud
Heads held high gazing into the future
We send a message overwhelmingly loud
Oblivious to the grounds erupture

So go ahead and put a gun in my hand
And send me off to some godforsaken land
Spread the gospel and be safe and sound
I got my name on the very last round

Spread the gospel and be safe and sound
I got my name on the very last round!

You've gotta think like us
You gotta be like us
And believe in what we say

You've gotta think like us
Just because
There is no other way

Do you feel safe?
Do you feel secure?
Are you happy
With what you've got
Wouldn't you want to be
Wouldn't you really really want to be
One of us

You've gotta think like us
