Shackled Minds

"Serve the Master till death is due..."
And you actually think this is true?
We are indoctrinated from our birth,
to willingly accept that we have no worth.

We once were told that we could achieve,
anything we want, if we believe...
Now, we are told what to think,
what poison to eat, and what to drink.

We are hypnotized by corporate campaign,
leaving the wealthy to keep their reign.
Every year it is getting worse,
you let uncle Sam hold your purse.

Our minds, food, and bodies are polluted,
since the seeds of corruption are deeply rooted.
But we seem to welcome being a slave,
endlessly working towards the grave.

To me, it has always been strange,
that people have power, but do not change.
"THEY" guard the locks, but WE hold the keys,
together we can cleanse this disease.

It is up to US to change our fate,
to cast out notions of a policed state.
They think they can do as they please?
We can bring the corporations to their knees!!

Gather your anger, raise your voice!
Let them KNOW that WE have a choice!!
WE want to be RULED no longer,
so come together as something stronger!

Tell them that their time has come,
let the songs of change wail and strum!
Corporate dreams will come crashing down,
while old ideals crumble to the ground!

They treat us like mindless drones...
we should throw the masters from their thrones!
It is in our power to make the world right,
will you cower as a slave...or will you FIGHT!?

It may seem impossible to do...
but worldwide change...will start with YOU.
