I can see that you can't see
the blind lead's the blind
one voice one mind
guess you bought the facade
so give up your soul to the TV god now
no struggle no fight
when you're told what is wrong and told what is right
not a thought not a peep
cause you have no say in the land of the sheep
learn in the land of the sheep
wide awake or fast asleep
can't think for yourself
lie down get beat
by the media's primary function
brainwash the masses death and destruction
burn my eyes till my sight is blurred
herd the flock where the flock cant be heard
land of the sheep home of the slave
one foot in the grave no we can't be saved


They blind my eyes for fear of my mind...

Resist the system light up let it burn!
They blind my eyes for fear of my mind
won't submit to my suicide...


Ignorance breeds ignorance
amidst all the pain
anger, guilt, and shame
violence seem's the American dream
its playing 24/7 on the silver screen
target our children (BOW!)
product to sell
when they turn 18 lock em' up in a cell
no rehabilition
crime vacation
land of the sheep lost generation
Think for yourself!

They blind my eyes for fear of my mind...
Resist the system light up let it burn
They blind my eyes for fear of my mind...
wont submit to my suicide...
wont submit to my suicide...
wont submit to my suicide...


(You can't bring me down... can't bring me down...) x2
You can reject me
Take away my pride
You say you hate me
How can you hate me?
You helped create me
And now i stand
You nightmare has been given life
Never die... Never dieeeee


They blind my eyes for fear of my mind...
Resist the system light up let it burn!
They blind my eyes for fear of my mind...
(and think for yourself)
They blind my eyes for fear of my mind...
(and think for yourself)
(and think for yourself)

RESIST! RESIST!
(and think for yourself)
They blind my eyes for fear of my mind...
(and think for yourself)
(and think for yourself)
RESIST! RESIST! RESIST! RESIST!


Don't surrender... you have got to think... think for yourself!

    "I can see that you can't see the blind lead's the blind one voice one mind guess you bought the facade so give up your soul to the TV god now"

    This is talking about one man (the president) controlling an entire country which no one man should ever have that power, and he gets there through media with his broken promises (lies).

    "no struggle no fight when you're told what is wrong and told what is right not a thought not a peep cause you have no say in the land of the sheep"

    You have two options basically in America (one more than a dictatorship) Republican or Democrat, and they really aren't that different from each other nowadays, it's just an illusion to think you have some kind of choice (Coke and Pepsi).

    "Learn in the land of the sheep wide awake or fast asleep can't think for yourself lie down get beat"

    Amongst this absurd ideology of one mind for the masses, you must sift through the generic thinking and come up with your own opinion (on anything) or just give up and be part the mainstream.

    "by the media's primary function brainwash the masses death and destruction burn my eyes till my sight is blurred herd the flock where the flock cant be heard land of the sheep home of the slave one foot in the grave no we can't be saved"

    All of the mainstream media (especially the news) is biased, and are serving political parties. They pump you full of fear and mess with your logic and you see it so much that it distorts your thinking into what they want you to believe. It seems like whenever a mass movement of revolt pops up it gets shut down eventually once it becomes a legitimate threat, we're slaves in every aspect of life as everything it seems is regulated by government and controls every aspect of your life....You're not free at all.

    "They blind my eyes for fear of my mind... Resist the system light up let it burn! They blind my eyes for fear of my mind won't submit to my suicide..."

    The people in control of the world don't want you to think for yourself, that affects their agenda. Everything is a designed system formed by the powerful wealthy people of every country. Don't give in, do something....don't just be a victim of the system. Fight the system, any way you can.

    "Ignorance breeds ignorance amidst all the pain anger, guilt, and shame violence seems the American dream its playing 24/7 on the silver screen target our children (BOW!) product to sell when they turn 18 lock em' up in a cell no rehabilitation crime vacation land of the sheep lost generation Think for yourself!"

    War is portrayed as being patriotic, when really it's designed for ignorant people to fight under false beliefs as the people who orchestrated the war are getting rich off of weapons sales and stolen natural resources for the most part. Even locking people up in your own country is big business, it's a system in itself and every player needs each other from the offender, to the jail to the court system to the politics behind it all.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
