I've been watching for years and years Programmed by money, sex and darker fears Forty thousand killings seen By the time that I'm eighteen A product of the world That we're living in Their mind is the mind that's behind your mind They make you think this Their thoughts are the thoughts of the thoughts that you think That's why you think this Sleeping young minds awake To this mass of confusion Pre-decided path you take Is just an illusion Starting out at day one Now the training has begun This is how they reach Into your mind Their brain is the brain that controls your brain They make you think this The life you live is the life they give That's why you think this The life you live is the life they give That's why you think this Watch it! Believe it! Receive it! See it! You eat it! Consume it! Live it! Dream it! Think it! Gaze into the screen And be amazed All these things that you don't have That you crave You pray to God And your work so hard But that's gotten you to where so far You're just a slave To the cathode ray
