lyrics

WE GAVE AWAY OUR FREEDOM,
FOR A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY,
GOT TRICKED INTO SUBMISSION,
ACCEPTING OUR OWN INEQUALITY,
THEY USE FEAR AS A WEAPON,
TO BEAT US INTO DOCILITY,
AND LITTLE BY LITTLE,
LITTLE BY LITTLE,
WE DRIFT FURTHER AND FURTHER INTO INEQUITY,

THESE JOBS,
THESE HOMES,
THESE CARS,
BECOME OUR PRISON,
THEY ARE THE CATARACT,
THAT CLOUDS OUR VISION,
AND IN THE MEANTIME,
WE’RE LYING HERE DAY-DREAMING,
WHILE KEPT OCCUPIED AND PACIFIED,
OBLIVIOUS TO THEIR SCHEMING,
IT’S TIME TO BREAK FREE,
TIME TO GET FREE,
AND GET RID OF THIS MIND CONTROLLED,
AMERICAN MENTALITY.
