What's with your head?
Controlled, dumbed down
Since your life began
They play us like fools
We sell out to be in
A "bread and circus" game
What's going on, you're sedated again?
Already wasted half your life
Stone cold hearted and arrogant
They teach "Ignorance is bliss"
Now I lay me down to rest
But I can't get no sleep
It's getting late, you still won't listen
I'd better stay awake
They dumbed us down and
Slowly changed our thoughts
Now we believe in nothing
But never-ending wars
In which we're all gonna lose (ourselves)
