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
