why are we here?

Why are we here?
Working class race or a we just slaves?
Pave our own path whilst buried in chains
Freedom of speech, or the lies that they teach
The powers that preach hide the key to our peace

Eves mistake, tricked by the snake
Excuses for rules, we should seal our own fate
An eye for an eye when we rise to the sky
A means for control, slaves til we die

They hand us guns to fight for their funds
Waste our lives while they turn and run
We drive the tanks to protect their banks
On chess boards we wait
Just another man's bait

Years of war, what are we fighting for?
To take another man's land?
Singing god save the queen with a gun in our hand

History, just a mystery,
Too many holes in the stories
Facts are lies, a common theory
We were made as slaves, born and raised within the caves
Left to build an empire, always ending in fire
Thousands of years to learn yet the hateful wheels still turn

Unidentified gods in the sky
Mind control, watched by the eye,
Our lives, we will never own
A body merely a vessel, no home for the soul

Was this the plan, turn man against man?
Put to the test, part of a quest
To see if were worthy of a better place
To watch us fail and burn in disgrace

Do we stand a shot in some place morals are long forgot?
Born into chaos, were bound to get lost
Conditioned to think the way we've been taught
In a web of lies, our minds are caught
