lyrics

We are all controlled by reinforcement of rules
Passed by those who are merely the tools of a system
Where achievement is based on deceit of the masses
By someone in whom they believe

We are all controlled by the straight-line thinking of straight-line thinkers
Who gave up drinking and smoking to avoid being lower
Than their aspirations would allow them to go

We are all controlled by fear of the unknown
Because we're not told all that there is to know
About things we consider as normal existence
So we accept exploitation and show no resistance

We are all controlled in our thoughts and our actions
By things we were told by past generations
Of parents who used to rebel just the same
As we do now so who gets the blame?

We are the rebels like the rebels before us
Predestined to scream in an out of tune chorus
Of voices repeating the words of the past
That diffuse in the process of aging too fast

Deep in the soul if there is one it tells you
To do as you feel not as someone outside you
Dictates through their own misguided conception
Of what part you must play in this game of deception
