They Live

leaders of the land,
playing god,
control our senses,
pavlov's dogs,
kept sedated,
brainwashed to submit,
a life of torturous hell,
is what our leaders give,
(see you don't know this but…)
there's many things that we do wrong,
we're worthless, unemployed,
and they'd rather have us gone,
we're fucking up the city,
and we're taking up their space,
so they're importing dope for us,
with hopes we'll die someday,
our lives are being sucked dry,
just to be sacrificed,
for a facist, sexist lie,
they keep it all illegal,
so they can always lock us up,
but they still want us to do the dope,
so we're to dumb to rise above,
and if that doesn't do it,
and we're still in the way,
they've created a disease for us,
with no cure (or so they say…)
work away a lifetime,
just to end up dead,
conveniently provided,
with drugs to fill your head,
educations limited by governments control,
they only teach you what they think,
you really ought to know,
television’s just a reinforcer of control,
readjusting thoughts, robs you of your soul,
desensitize the public to violence, sex and greed,
watch us kill each other for all our wants and needs,
all the sins are here for us,
indulge and have some fun,
they tell us not to murder but they'll still sell us the guns,
don't count on the system to be easy on you,
cause the rich can buy their freedom and the poor will be their tools,
if you follow instructions and do as you are told,
life will be much easier they'll fit you into the mold,
they're working for a better world, harmonious and new,
peace, love and unity except for you and you and you…
