Obey
Obey
(Intro):
"Lay in your bed and enjoy the time passing"
"The tank feels so cold it could almost drown out the screaming"
(Chorus 1):
"Get back in line
You hear it all the time when the officer says to"
"I apologise I must've lost my mind cause i crossed it when i met you"
(Verse):
"Everyone must obey"
To keep everybody safe
Know that you're not a slave
Just property of the state
(Bridge):
Im enraged
Locked away
And reduced to my own waste
I must obey
Chorus 2):
So pace in your cages and enjoy all the hard drugs
Is it okay if I say its cause someone had to pay the taxes?
Get back in line,
You hear it all the time when the officer says to
I apologise, I must've lost my mind cause I crossed it when i met you
(Breakdown):
Bend at the knee for the system
marching to their rhythm
Lace up your boots and their blood runs cold
Batting at the cages
Burn away the pages
Now where did your life go?
(Chorus):
Get back in line
You hear it all the time when the officer says to
I apologise I must've lost my mind cause I crossed it when i met you
(Verse):
Bruises and abrasions on the faces of the
nameless
you're battered and broken but no one cares how it happened
Get back
Get back
Get back in line
