Из альбома: 17 Again
 Calculate, cultivate
 relegate and chock 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 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
 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 feel there comes evil that you see
 And all the kids, with the soundbyte same chains,
 choking up lines playing whose who mind 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
 Even if you wanted to,
 even if you could, oh-oh
 You can't say no
 
 (solo)
 
 Consonant keepers of many paths wondering,
 desolate dreamers with heads caught up in the sway,
 Obstinent headers of organized ignorance,
 making up rules for the mute and the waylayed
 But ooh the kids that are raised in the freefall,
 and from silence in the pacified strip mall.
 They pay the wage with the dollars of gravity,
 on their bedside, oh my conscience costs 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
 You can't say no
 You can't say no
 You can't say no
 You can't say no.
