Slave

Habits of the lemmings die hard
Patterns of obsession go far
Digging ditches so they never see the stars
Now all them lessons learned get buried in the yard
And ways of the weapon bombard
Building mountains of them body bags large
Rubbernecking while collision greet your car
And you may know your name but dont know who or what you are
Youre a slave
Poised to drink that Kool-Aid suicide
Follow dont get left behind
Dont think, better do just what they certify
You that servant, never choose a side
Vassal of the modern times
And when it all blows up you duck your head and hide
You out there searching for that silver line
But sweat has covered up the signs
Now that fortune came, but its gone and it passed you by
You plucked your feathers, now you wonder why
You cant lift yourself and fly
Well in the middle of an ocean no ones hands are dry
If that tree fall does it make a sound
Can the world stall from the runaround
Can a mind think if its in a crowd
Can a soul search if its never found
And can a thing grow when you cut it down
Can we all find peace in the here and now
You can crawl through the mud with your hands bound
But Ill get plenty of that dirt when Im underground
Youre a slave
Youre a slave
Youre a slave
And this a slave ship
This a slave ship
Shackled in those chains, whipped
Pushed until you break, fixed
Back into the game quick
March along the pavement
Earn that meager wage, spit
Do just what they say, skip
Work until the pain splits
Let the haze lift
Pull yourself out of that grave pit
And consider how you became sick
All that labor brought you nothing but your bones sore
All that devotion led to nothing but the sweat pours
And now they want more
Own you to the core
Well I dont make laws
But I am not yours
And this a mob call
Let them bricks fall
If you want freedom then just take it, what you waiting for
Dont let your masters tell you this is how its done
Dont let the wicked fool you, this is how the war is won
That mayhem cant continue if the noble dont succumb
That forest on fire pave the way to what becomes
They tell you disregard the doubts that creeps across your mind
They tell you there is simply nothing more for you to find
They tell you time to wake up and get back into the line
These pyramids dont build themselves, now go resume the grind
I tell em I dont follow in the footsteps of insane
I tell em I dont trail along a path with no terrain
I tell em you can work the fields and bask in all your grain
But for one dont live to work, I will not live in vain
Youre a slave
And this a slave ship
This twisted culture got you feeding from its hand
But you will lose that food if you dont meet all their demands
And loyal is the soldier that gets slaughtered with the lambs
Examining the blueprints got you questioning the plans
And if a man fall, does it make a sound
Will the world stall, from the runaround
Does a mind think, when it in a crowd
How can a soul search, if its never found
And can a thing breathe if its always being drowned
Can the leaders of the lost forever disavow
And you can stare at the sky while you on the ground
But Im a wait until I die to take it lying down
This a mob call, let them bricks fall
This a mob call, now let them bricks fall
This a mob call, let them bricks fall
If you want freedom then just take it
What you waiting for ?
