Otep - Smash The Control Machine lyrics
rate me<BR>
(With the perfect hair<br>
And the perfect wife<br>
And the perfect kids<br>
And the perfect life<br>
I will finally be somebody...)<br>
<br>
(Let's play born-again American, resistance is the game!)<br>
<br>
Two pigs wearing suits<br>
Brought the news<br>
That I'm wanted by the bank<br>
<br>
They say the rent is due<br>
Caesar's onto you<br>
So you better remember your place<br>
<br>
Then they outsourced my job<br>
And gave a raise to my boss<br>
<br>
Bailed out the banks<br>
But billed me for the loss<br>
<br>
They say we must submit<br>
And be one with the Machine<br>
<br>
Because the Kingdom of Fear<br>
Needs compliance to succeed<br>
<br>
So waterboard the kids for fun<br>
It's all the rage<br>
<br>
And play born-again American<br>
Resistance is the game<br>
<br>
SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE<br>
Work, buy, consume, die<br>
<br>
SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE<br>
Happy little slaves for minimum wage<br>
<br>
(The revolution will be monetized<br>
And streamed live via renegade WiFi)<br>
<br>
The clinic said I'm sick<br>
Toxic..... and impure<br>
<br>
But there isn't any cure<br>
For the poor or uninsured<br>
<br>
So we live our digital lives<br>
On multiple screens<br>
<br>
And we forget that<br>
The blood of the workers<br>
Grease the machines<br>
<br>
In the Psalm of the Fiends<br>
Love ...... discriminates<br>
<br>
While the fat cats feed the rats<br>
Their daily dose of cake<br>
<br>
So waterboard the kids for fun<br>
It's all the rage<br>
<br>
And play born-again American<br>
Resistance is the game<br>
<br>
SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE<br>
Work, buy, consume, die<br>
<br>
SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE<br>
Happy little slaves for minimum wage<br>
<br>
SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE<br>
Work, buy, consume, die<br>
<br>
SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE<br>
Haters, betrayers, liars, and thieves<br>
<br>
(America)<br>
<br>
She sold her soul<br>
For designer clothes<br>
<br>
For the perfect lips<br>
And the perfect nose<br>
<br>
The winner in the end<br>
Always owns the most<br>
<br>
Reality tv told her so!<br>
<br>
(Mammonites)<br>
<br>
Money changer!<br>
Greedy bankers!<br>
<br>
This is the Peoples House!<br>
<br>
My minister has a sinister plan<br>
To save my soul with a credit card scam<br>
<br>
Exploitation is contagious<br>
For the selfish & self-inflated<br>
<br>
Start a war, use the poor,<br>
Watch our profits soar & soar<br>
<br>
We've become a nation of wolves<br>
Ruled by sheep<br>
<br>
Owned by swine<br>
Overfed & put to sleep<br>
<br>
And while the media's elite<br>
Decrees what to think<br>
<br>
I am wide awake<br>
On the edge<br>
And on the brink<br>
<br>
So when Atlas shrugs<br>
And The Fountainhead bleeds<br>
And when Walstreet Apostles<br>
Preach a gospel of greed<br>
<br>
I'll renounce the fame of this gluttonous age<br>
And be a Born-again American<br>
Resistance is to blame!<br>
<br>
SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE<br>
Work, buy, consume, die<br>
<br>
SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE<br>
Haters, betrayers, liars, and theives<br>
<br>
SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE<br>
A nation of wolves - ruled by sheep!<br>
<br>
Exploitation is contagious<br>
Exploitation is contagious<br>
Exploitation is contagious<br>
Exploitation............<br>
<BR><BR>
